Like many other parents with young children, my husband and I live with a cookie monster. So in order to keep him happy but still provide a slightly healthy cookie option, I decided to whip up some oatmeal raisin cookies last weekend. I am proud to say he liked these cookies more than the ones my husband recently brought home from the amazing bakery in our neighborhood that’s been in business for over 54 years…
Here is the recipe. Pretty classic with the usual suspects: oats, raisins, butter, sugar, salt, baking soda, salt cinnamon and vanilla extract. The one thing I will say is that I ran out of baking soda so I used baking powder. I failed to realize that although it is OK to substitute baking powder when you need baking soda BUT you need to use 2 to 3 times more… So I think my cookies were a little less fluffy than they maybe could have been. Still tasty though.
