drop - Oatmeal Raisin Cookies**
Source of Recipe
mine
When my husband and I were first married, and I wasn't working, I had a baking day. It was Fridays. I would make all kinds of cookies, cakes and pies. That way I had things to pack in lunches or just for desserts, until the next week and I would also give some of everything to other family members so they would have home baked things too. I tried so many oatmeal recipes and didn't like any of them so I finally came up with this one. It should just about melt in your mouth! I always doubled this or I would run out. I was at a bakery a while back and they were making cookies, the aroma smelled so familiar and good...they gave me a warm oatmeal cookie to sample...and I just couldn't believe it....they tasted just like mine! Now That was amazing.
