I feel as if it’s been forever since I shared a new Killer Recipe and, looking back, it has been. So I headed into the kitchen to experiment a bit and happily ended up with Chocolate Raisin Oatmeal Cookies that made me and my sweet tooth very happy and disappeared very quickly. I was not the only culprit.
So, just in time to be a sweet Valentine’s Day treat, here’s the recipe. Enjoy!
CHOCOLATE RAISIN OATMEAL COOKIES
1-3/4 sticks butter, softened
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups old fashioned rolled oats
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup raisins (optional)
1/4 cup nuts (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream together sugars and then mix in eggs one at a a time. Add vanilla. In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Mix dry ingredients into the butt/sugar mixture. Mix oin oats, chocolate chips, raisins and nuts. Measure out a tablespoon amount of dough, roll into a ball and place onto a greased or parchment lined baking sheet.

Serve with love.
