I think these cookies are a keeper! I liked them. To me, that is the ultimate oatmeal cookie! I wanted to bring the cookies up a notch, and instead of putting chocolate chunks in the batter, I dipped them in the chocolate and drizzled a bit more chocolate on top.making the cookies look a bit more elegant. Soft and chewy with that trademark homemade flavor, these are the best soft and chewy oatmeal raisin cookies. You know, I think a good oatmeal cookie should have some sort of dried fruit, nuts and chocolate. But, I couldn't leave well enough alone and dipped/drizzled some with chocolate. The original recipe makes the cookies bigger.I opted to make mine smaller. I kind of liked the idea of taking out one of the dried raisins and bringing in some sort of nut for crunch.I like the various textures, chewy and crunchy at the same time. Beat butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Of course, I substituted with what I had around the house.macadamia nuts and medium colored brown sugar. Blend together the oats, flour, raisins, cranberries, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. I did not have dark raisins, neither did I have dark brown sugar.and I wasn't about to go out in the -10 degs to buy some. Now, I like that they are giving their recipe out for the home cook to try:)! So, I made them all right.Ok, I had to change the recipe just a little.

Bake and cool: Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of the cookie mixture onto ungreased cookie sheets, 1 ½ inch apart. Add flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and oats and stir until the dough comes together, again being careful not to overwork the mixture. Add egg and continue mixing until just combined. Have you ever had them at Starbucks?.well, I haven't. Assemble the cookie dough: Add the flour mixture to the bowl, along with the raisins and walnuts and gently beat on low (or by hand) until combined and no streaks of dry flour remain.
