Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

YUMMY!! I love oatmeal raisin cookies and this here is another amazing recipe I'd love to share with you. I have to admit I've never made them before today. *hangs head in shame* I decided to make them as a surprise for my mom, she loves oatmeal raisin cookies!

Since this was my first time baking oatmeal raisin cookies, I was shocked at how dense the cookie batter was. I was afraid that the cookies would be dry and hard but they weren't at all. They were beautifully browned and moist! I loved them!
