Oatmeal Raisin Cookies –

Here are my favorite cookies. I can’t say I have invented them, but I’ve been making them for years. I’ve been shocked at how many people say they never make cookies because they are too hard to make, but these are simple enough to make. They are great for making up for last minute guests, or even for a quick snack. It’s always good to have a few on hand for unexpected guests, because they are easy to make, and don’t take much time to make.

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies – This recipe and its variations is one of the most popular and requested recipes on my blog. I first made it for my family after we lost a loved one and it brought us all together as a family. Its a simple recipe that everyone can enjoy and it goes great as a gift! My family and I make this recipe as a cookie. However, if you do not like them as a cookie, then it may be worth making as a loaf. It is a very filling and filling/regular sized loaf is perfect for a sandwich. Enjoy!

When you think of a cookie, you probably think of a soft, chewy cookie with a crisp outside, a little bit sweet, and a nice, gooey center. Not a tough cookie, but a soft cookie. Oatmeal anything is a very soft, moist, kind of chewy cookie type of cookie. I really like oatmeal cookies, but I don’t like to get oatmeal all over my hands, and I don’t like to get them all over my plate. So, I tried making a soft cookie that I could get oatmeal on, but that I could eat with a fork. What I ended up with was a cookie that is softer than a soft cookie, and it is definitely more moist than a moist cookie

Whether you like yours crispy, chewy, or soft, I believe we can all agree on one thing:

Delicious oatmeal raisin cookies!

This recipe produces a soft cookie that pairs well with the crunchy walnuts and chewy raisins.

I used whole wheat flour, but all-purpose flour may be used instead.

If you’re feeling brave and inventive, NPR.org has a wonderful resource that compares the effects of using brown sugar against granulated sugar or baking soda versus baking powder, for example.

I haven’t put the theory to the test, but it seems like something I should do!
