Cookies like Grandma used to make. The secret is boiling the raisins to plump them up, which adds a great dimension to the wonderful spicy taste of this soft cookie. These are real special!

I've tried many oatmeal raisin cookie recipes, but this one is by far the best. The cookies are soft, chewy, and full of flavor.

I'm not a huge fan of raisins, so I substituted dried cranberries instead. The cookies were still delicious!

I found that these cookies were a bit dry. I would recommend adding an extra 1/4 cup of milk to the batter.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar by 1/4 cup.
