I love oatmeal cookies, but my hubby always likes raisins in his oatmeal cookies, so I always add raisins to my oatmeal cookies when I make them, just for him. You can omit the raisins if you don’t like raisins in your cookies. These are a staple cookie I make, second to Granny’s Chocolate Chip Cookies (my hubby’s #1 favorite cookie).

TIP: If you want to keep your cookies soft, put a piece of bread in your cookie jar or container along with the cookies. The bread will get hard and the cookies will absorb the moisture and stay soft.
