These oatiest oatmeal cookies are full of raisins and so yummy – can’t go wrong with the classic combo of oatmeal raisin cookies!
These oatmeal raisin cookies are amazing – soft and chewy, with a nice blend of ‘oatiness’. They seemed to taste healthier than other oatmeal cookies, if that’s possible. But they weren’t as loaded with fatty things like peanut butter, like my other awesome oatmeal cookies (Monster Cookies, recipe here). I’m almost thinking that I like these better than the monster cookies … but I haven’t quite gone that far yet.
The recipe calls for raisins, but I have also used the recipe to use up all our leftover milk and white chocolate chips and M&M’s, as well as the raisins. I think the raisins make them nice and sweet, and a little juicy. For a recipe in between the full on Monster cookies and these, check out the oatmeal chocolate chip cookies here!
Try them both and let me know which ones you like best!
