I’ll be honest. I’ve never been one to put raisins in cookies. I’m a chocoholic from way back.
But my husband is a big raisin fan. He loves raisins in things like rice pudding and cinnamon rolls.
So, today, for him, I set aside my raisins-do-not-belong-in-cookies rule and made Oatmeal Raisin Cookies.
These cookies area based on my very favorite Plain Oatmeal Cookie recipe. It’s a long time favorite, even though it doesn’t have chocolate.
I really love oatmeal cookies. They have such an awesome texture and flavor. I even made some oatmeal cookies for the county fair when I was a kid. I don’t want to brag or anything, but they got an honorable mention.
One of the great things about oatmeal cookies is that they go well with lots of stuff. Raisins, yes, and chocolate chips, of course. When we were kids, we used to mix chocolate chips and either butterscotch or peanut butter chips. Those are some awesome combinations.
And that was before I discovered cinnamon chips.
Trust me, you’re going to love these, no matter what you put in them!
