Oatmeal Cookies with Chocolate Chips or Raisins
My favorite oatmeal cookie was from Summer trips to Walloon Lake, Michigan. Â On our way, we would stop off in town for very big, chewy oatmeal cookies. I wanted to re-create the taste I remembered and I think I did a pretty good job, they turned out delicious!
Who doesn’t love a good oatmeal cookie?
Depending on your preference, you can make them with either chocolate chips or raisins. And if you really want to live on the edge.. add both! 🙂 I brought the cookies to my office for a taste test and I got a thumbs up for both flavors.
I prefer them with the raisins.. and that is a big deal coming from a chocoholic! So what is your preference? Oatmeal cookies with chocolate chips or raisins? If you like Oatmeal cookies, you may also like to try this recipe. Happy Baking!
