Recipe Description
Oatmeal Raisin Cookies are plump, soft, and chewy. Hungry for a snack? Have a couple with a glass of milk or cup of coffee. Good luck stopping after two. Be warned, they are addicting. These cookies have a little crunch on the outside of this cookie that I love. The brown sugar in the recipe is the secret to the crunch. I usually add in only one extra ingredient. Raisins or chocolate chips. I love both in this recipe. Today, it is raisins.The recipe for these Oatmeal Raisin cookies is from my mom. However, I had to tweak it some as she loved to put everything but the kitchen sink into this recipe. I swear it was her solution to extra pantry supplies. She put nuts, coconut, chocolate chips, oatmeal, and raisins in it. Her recipe was so stuffed with the additional ingredients that there was barely enough dough to keep the cookie together. We used to tease her that we were going to name it Mom’s Everything But the Kitchen Sink Cookies.
