Here is my favorite oatmeal raisin or oatmeal chocolate chip recipe. This recipe is the best because it's very easy and quick to make. It also has amazing flavor and texture which is a combination not easy to find anymore. I've modified the recipe and directions from food.com.
Here are some of the modifications i have made: I have been reducing the amount of flour so the resulting cookie is less dry. I have also cut down on the amount of oats so you can taste the flavors of the cookie more and not be overwhelmed with the bland flavor and texture of the oats themselves. Anyways, i hope you enjoy the recipe!
