Christmas Oatmeal Raisin Cookies Recipe

Turning an Old Standard Cookie Recipe into Christmas Cookies

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies are my husband's favorite cookies so, of course, our Oatmeal Raisin Cookie recipe must be included in the holiday baking.

I use my mother's recipe for Oatmeal Raisin Cookies, but I have pulled out my treasure trove of cookie cutters to make the traditional, nondescript cookie into a pretty Christmas cookie.

I did not change the recipe, I just changed the presentation.

    Now these look delicious! The Christmas theme is fun. Of course, they are too good to eat just once a year, and I'm sure they taste wonderful no matter what their shape.
