I've been accused of making my cookies a little on the large side, so I like to give them room to spread out.
Joe was very pleased to come home to some homebaked goodies, and I enjoyed licking the bowl while making these. They're very chewy, like injure-your-jaw-chewy, and the oatmeal features prominently. Next time I might look for a recipe with a higher flour to oat ratio and add in more raisins since the cookies are a little too oaty. I don't know if that would work though since I haven't quite mastered the chemistry of baking.

It's been awhile since I've had or made some oatmeal raisin cookies. These look awesome and I bet the live up to their name by vanishing quickly!
I have to say ... that cookie sheet is the cleanest and shiniest I've ever seen! Mine always look grungy and dirty - even when they're clean! I like to think it adds flavor ;)
The cookies look awesome! I love oatmeal cookies, so these are on my list of things to make! :)
