When I make these cookies, I add walnuts and sometimes chocolate chips. I love the raisins with the chocolate chipes. I’m finding some discrepancies on the net with this recipe. Mine came from a box of Quaker Oats a few months ago. Baking Blonde’s recipe has a little more butter and brown sugar. Check out her cooking blog if you like to bake. I’m trying to stay away from butter and sugar both….but every once in awhile, I have to splurge. (photo from Quaker Oats web page).
These look wonderful!

Yum! Homemade cookies….my favorite! Sadly I don’t think there will be any baking done for quite awhile around here. Once it gets hot my oven stays off….and today we’re expecting 97º. I can’t complain though because this is our first hot day so far.
