Need GREAT Oatmeal/Raisin Cookie Recipe

[TammyTX]

Please !!

I'm giving them for a gift and the recipes I've tried either spread out too much or are too cake-y.

look under the lid of the quaker oatmeal container- best oatmeal raisin recipie in the world. They don't get hard, and I have shipped them to South Korea with great results.

I checked the website...there are 50 oatmeal related cookie recipes there and several are oatmeal/raisin.

They are not my fav so my experience with them are limited. I found one I'll try. They are being given as a frozen cookie dough gift.

thanks.

My Grand mother's was really crisp. If you want a crisp one, I will dig for it.
But, you realize don't you, if you give cookie dough, it really does not matter what it bakes into, because it will all be eaten before it makes it into the oven.

The best secret is soaking of raisins.
