Everyone I know, with the exception of a few of us raisin lovers, prefers chocolate chip cookies. To satisfy the cravings for both the raisin and chocolate lovers, I used Raisinets. Yes, chocolate covered raisins. How cool is that! Now, everyone is happy! This is my favorite Oatmeal Raisin cookie recipe. I’ve been making these for over thirty year. I substituted Raisinets in place of raisins. If you want a really yummy oatmeal raisin cookie without chocolate, just use raisins instead of Raisinets. Hope you enjoy!
