Oatmeal raisin cookies are such an easy cookie to make and are also a classic favorite for many people. They also make your house smell fantastic when they are baking 🙂
I know some people are not a fan of raisins, but you can always swap out the raisins for chocolate chips, nuts or even dried cranberries. Any way your family likes them, they most certainly will not stick around long!
