Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cookies will taste. Look for organic oats, real butter, and pure vanilla extract.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing can make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a low temperature: This helps them bake evenly and prevents them from burning.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving: This allows the flavors to develop and the cookies to set.

Conclusion:

These oatmeal cookies are the perfect combination of chewy and crispy. They're packed with flavor and loaded with oats, nuts, and raisins. Whether you're a fan of classic oatmeal cookies or you're looking for something new, these cookies are sure to please. So next time you're in the mood for a delicious and satisfying snack, give these oatmeal cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
