Old-Fashioned Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

"Thick and chewy, this is truly the ultimate Oatmeal Raisin Cookies recipe! Stir together a batch of these old-fashioned favorites and share a simple treat with your loved ones. They're an easy dessert that disappears fast! I cannot even count how many different batches of cookies I baked in my attempt to land on the perfect oatmeal raisin cookie recipe! It seems like such a simple task, but this particular treat proved to be quite the baking challenge. I wanted a thick, chewy cookie that would be slightly crisp on the outside, but soft and buttery on the inside. By tweaking the types of oats that I used, the spices, the different types of sugar, the ratio of oats to flour, and the chilled versus room temperature dough -- the options are endless! I can confidently say, though -- the messy kitchen and the time (and frustration) spent toiling was worth the effort...because this easy oatmeal raisin cookie recipe is absolutely the BEST! "
