What about you...do you like them? Maybe even love them?? If you do then you will love this oatmeal raisin cookie recipe.
Don't get me wrong...I don't hate them and I certainly can eat them but, the raisins kind of ruin it for me. I am just not fond of raisins. I even pick them out of my trail mix. Yes, you are right...there is a story behind the making of this oatmeal raisin spice cookie recipe. It was developed for my husband who - on the other hand - likes...no loves... oatmeal raisin spice cookies. Yes, store bought ones no less...from Trader Joe's. Note: Trader Joe's is a line of grocery stores where we live. One day, not having any chocolate chips - you KNOW how awful that is - and wanting to make cookies, I decided to make this soft oatmeal raisin cookie recipe. I remembered my French grand-mother making lots of desserts with raisins and I liked them then. So what was the difference? The difference was the extra time she lovingly took to prepare the raisins. So I did the same thing with my raisins for this chewy oatmeal raisin cookie recipe and it worked! The first batch was a "not bad at all" from my husband and a "better than Trader Joe's" from the kids. I had more work to do....I could NOT have a store bought oatmeal raisin spice cookie taste better than homemade cookies... Homemade is always best don't you think? I thought so...and I agree with you! The next batch - made the next day - was a "this is it...they are better!" Yes!!! Success! Even two neighbors - who also do not like oatmeal raisin cookies - found them to be very very good..."the best oatmeal raisin cookies ever!" So oatmeal raisin cookie lovers - or not - give this recipe a try and then give me your feedback....yes, with pictures! You tell me if these are not the best oatmeal raisin cookies...ever - or at least better than Trader Joe's! Oatmeal raisin cookies - Read others' comments and reviews.
