Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
There is nothing like a simple cookie that is packed full of flavor! Nothing. One of my favorites is the oatmeal raisin cookie. They are such a classic that never get old.
I spent my Friday night spending quality time with my mixer and oven. It was quite romantic, I must say. 
The results were nothing short of scrumptious.
I’ll be sending half of these chew oatmeal raisins to my family. I’m confident to say they will fully enjoy them.
