The Best, Soft Oatmeal Cookies
Jan 30 '00 (Updated Mar 08 '00)
These are the Best Oatmeal Cookies I have ever had!
The secret is cooking the raisins to plump them,
and adding the raisin liquid to the batter. This makes it
a fluffy, soft cookie rather than crunchy and dry like most.
These make excellent gifts at the holidays, or anytime.
You can also mold them, dip them in chocolate, or add nuts
to change the flavor a bit.
