ADDICTING, Oh So Good (and SWEET) Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Here is a recipe that I found on the 'All Recipes' web-site. I do not claim this recipe to be my own creation. My husband and I are the pickiest cookie foodies. So when we were researching the best oatmeal (raisin) cookie recipe, I found this. If you log on to All Recipes for this recipe you will see that there are over 600 5-star reader reviews for this cookie recipe . . . honestly, this recipe is that good!

.

We bake half a batch with raisins and half a batch without raisins because our family is split on this little tiny ingredient (in fact, I double the raisins for my batch, since I love raisins).

.

If you nibble on these when they are warm, you will become addicted to them!

Soft Oatmeal (Raisin) Cookies

.

1 cup butter, softened

1 cup white sugar

1 cup packed brown sugar

2 large eggs

1 tsp. vanilla

2 cups flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. salt

1-1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon!

3 cups quick cooking oats

1 cup or your preferred amount of dark raisins

.

In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon together and then stir these into the creamed mixture. Mix in the oats.

.

Cover and chill the cookie dough for at least one hour.

Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease cookie sheets. Roll the cookie dough into walnut-size balls and place them 2 inches apart on the cookie sheets. Flatten each cookie with a large spoon dipped in sugar.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the pre-heated oven. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before placing them on a wire rack to cool completely.
