Directions
Old Fashioned Oatmeal Raisin Cookies,Cookies like Grandma used to make. The secret is boiling the raisins to plump them up, which adds a great dimension to the wonderful spicy taste of this soft cookie. These are real special!,used to make these cookies many, many years ago. Glad to see I could find the recipe now. By far the best oatmeal raisin cookies I have ever had, let alone made. Keeping the same ingredients, you can tweak to your liking. Everyone single person who tasted mine loved them. My son used to trade them in school (just found that out a few months ago ??).,Can I make this the day before, refrigerate over night and bake the next day? I am baking a large quantity and I like to prep my dough the night before so that way I get up and just bake everything so it is all fresh..
