Best Oatmeal Raisin Cookies image

This is a family favorite that I have been making for years. It's the most requested oatmeal cookie recipe I've ever made. I found it somewhere years ago, but have lost the source. The secret is soaking the raisins which makes all the difference.

These cookies are a bit bland for my taste. I think they need a little more sugar or spice.

I'm not a big fan of oatmeal cookies, but these are actually pretty good. They're not too sweet and the raisins add a nice touch of flavor.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover oatmeal. They're also a healthier alternative to traditional cookies.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These cookies are just okay. They're not bad, but they're not great either. I think they need a little more flavor.
