Classic Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
These classic oatmeal raisin cookies are so good they converted my non-oatmeal raisin eating son. They're soft and chewy with tons of flavor. This recipe came from my great grandmother and they taste as delicious today as I remember them as a kid.

- Drop 12 cookies on a silpat or parchment paper covered cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes. Do not overbake. Let cool on cookie sheet 2-3 minutes, then cool on wire racks for ten minutes.
- Store on counter in a tightly sealed container for two to three days. They freeze beautifully for up to a month and are good straight from the freezer, too.
Notes
- Make sure your butter is at room temperature. Set it out a few hours before you start baking, or do the trick with a warm glass. Fill a warm glass with hot water and let it heat the glass, then dump out the water. Stand your stick of butter on its end, and place the glass upside down over the stick of butter for a couple of minutes.
- Use whole, rolled oats (the old-fashioned oats) for these cookies, not instant, quick, steel cut, or other oats.
