Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Ranked #10,676 in Food & Cooking, #191,567 overall

Experiment with these 3 delicious recipes.

After making several batches of oatmeal cookies we baked a batch that taste incredibly good. This batch of cookies didn't last 2 hours while the rest are still sitting in the cookie jar. With their slightly chewy texture to the barely crispy edges they are by far the best oatmeal cookies I've ever had.
When making great cookies it is important to note that your guest and yourself are who you are baking for. To add a little love into those cookies ask them what their favorite add-ins are and the texture and sweetness that they desire. For instance I enjoy the sweet taste of brown sugar and my relatives like the sweet gooey chocolate morsels and crispy edges. The combination created out of love of food is what created these delicious after dinner treats.

Get started making your own delights with the help of our recipe, or try your own experiment and make several batches of different ingredients and recipes. For your convenience I have included the other 2 recipes that we made and you can try them for yourself.

Getting ready for the Holidays!

My best memories from past holidays aren't the presents but the love and care that was put into some of the most delicious Holiday cookies and desserts and drinking chocolate by the fireplace with all my cousins and family. It was the time spent with the family that I remember most. I hope your Holidays this year can be just as fabulous.

    Oatmeal pecan sounds good! I'd love to try your recipe but I don't have molasses. What can I use as substitute? Honey? I love all kinds of oatmeal cookies, the chewy kind especially but also love them a bit crispy.

    So glad you visited my page. If you like Kahlua or coffee flavored recipes check out my page squidoo.com/homemadekahlua . I just added some a recipe for Kahlua fruit dip with pecans and a bread and chocolate bread pudding that would be great for Thanksgiving. Can you tell I'm excited about the Holidays?

    I really shouldn't look at food lenses--especially really tasty ones--when I'm trying NOT to do any late-night snacking. But these do sound pretty darn yummy. Really nice job on your lens, and I'll have to look at some others you've made. I'm glad you stopped by one of my lenses and left a comment (it's quite rare on that lens!), since I hadn't seen you here before. Always nice to meet another squid!
