For the perfect winner to fill up your cookie jar, bake these got-it-all oatmeal cookies loaded with raisins and nuts. While there is no shortage of oatmeal cookie recipes out there, we love these in particular because they strike the perfect balance of crispiness and chewiness. The ratio of ingredients used turns out a cookie that isn't tall and cakey, but instead a little slender and nicely caramelized around the edges.

RAISIN-SWEET ALMOND BUTTER COOKIES



Raisin-Sweet Almond Butter Cookies image

These are almond butter (because we use almond butter instead of peanut butter) cookies that I made with my kids. They are sweetened with raisins only and are great! Please note that the almond butter I use is unsalted. It is the freshly ground almond butter you can get from health food sections in your local grocery store. If you happen to have some salted almond butter you will need to adjust the recipe accordingly. Enjoy!
