Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Either you like raisins in cookie or you don't. If you do, you might like these. I like them, that's why they are here.
Let's start with what these aren't. These aren't a cookie that stays soft 4 days after making them. Hey, they may not even be soft the day after making them, but that's fine with me. I like a solid cookie that has some substance to it. These are that sort of cookie.
I've been making these since high school. In fact, I used to quadruple or quintuple the recipe I like them that much. They even taste good frozen, or zapped warm in the microwave.
