Soft Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
I think these Soft Oatmeal Raisin Cookies are the best I have ever made. They are soft and chewy and a little bit spicy. Perfect for school lunches or for pot luck.
Soft Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
I have been on the hunt for a good Soft Oatmeal Raisin Cookie recipe for a long time. I think my search may be over. These cookies are delicious and easy to make.
Well raising my kids I always worked and never had a lot of time for cooking or baking. In reality I never really enjoyed it. However I secretly always longed to be the mother that always had cookies or a cake in the oven when the kids came home from school.
I now kind of have a second shot at that. Being blessed to now be semi-retired. I stay home and help my daughter out by being my grandson's caregiver. We have a great time doing all kinds of activities from swimming to amusement parks. He also enjoys going to Costco with grandma. His favorite thing there is the oatmeal raisin cookies. He asks for them every time we go. Of course, he always gets them. That's what grammas are for.
The problem being you can't buy just oatmeal raisin cookies. They come in a variety pack. Costcos 18 pack of cookies only have 6 oatmeal raisin cookies. Needless to say, they don't last long around My house.
Everyone in my house loves them. Therefore, I made it my mission to find a recipe that everyone liked. After trying several recipes, none quite cut it. My grandson kept saying they were all too hard. However, I think I finally hit the jackpot. The next time I make them I think I will try adding walnuts or maybe chocolate chips.
