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.
