MMmmmm! Combining some of my favorites flavors! These are adapted from Pichet Ong's The Sweet Spot. Prep time does not include chilling time as it is not mandatory (they work better for me if I can delay gratification long enough to chill though).

Tips:

Use old-fashioned oats for a chewier cookie, and quick oats for a softer cookie.
Don't overmix the dough, as this will make the cookies tough.
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking, as this will help the cookies hold their shape.
Bake the cookies at a relatively low temperature (325°F) for a longer period of time (12-15 minutes), as this will help prevent them from burning.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

These ginger oatmeal raisin cookies are a delicious and healthy snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to suit your own taste preferences. Experiment with different add-ins, such as chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit, to create your own unique variation of this classic cookie recipe.
