Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies:
I know there are a lot of you out there that don’t believe raisins have any place in a cookie recipe – and don’t worry, these cookies don’t include raisins – but raisins are one of my absolute favorite treats! If you love raisins and want to mix this recipe up a bit, you could swap the chocolate chips for raisins, dried cranberries or candy coated chocolates (like M&Ms).
