Oatmeal Raisin Cookies image

A friend gave me the recipe for these cookies many years ago, and they're as delicious as the ones Mom used to make. The secret to the recipe is to measure exactly (no guessing on the amounts) and to not overbake. -Wendy Coalwell, Abbeville, Georgia

I was so excited to try these cookies, but they turned out to be a bit dry. I think I overbaked them.

These cookies were delicious! The only change I made was to use chocolate chips instead of raisins.
