Also try these Chocolate Coconut Cookies. Though my all time favourite is these Funfetti Cake Mix Cookies. YUM!
Oftentimes the best recipes are the ones that are passed down.
This particular cookie recipe is from my husbands parents. Actually, my MIL’s Mom got it from a friend long ago.
It’s still made today by my FIL, he’s come over many times through the years with a tin of these wonderful cookies, to which we all devour obviously.
They are literally the best – in this world. I repeat, the best Oatmeal Raisin Cookies IN THIS WORLD!
I never considered these types of cookies one of my favourite type of cookie, I’ve had too many that were dry. Why this recipe rocks? As long as you don’t over cook them, they are chewy. Incredibly delicious!!
I love that I always have all the ingredients on hand: brown sugar, butter, eggs, rolled oats, vanilla, flour, raisins, baking soda and water.
I pay no attention to perfecting the drop size of the batter when placing into the pan. The outcome is cookies that are mismatched and imperfect in size – yet each one perfect in every way that counts.
This batch make a couple dozen, again depending on drop size {alter baking time if you make them small please, you really don’t want to overcook these}.
ENJOY!!

This is a slight variation of my recipe, but I am game to try a new recipe. It’s more brown sugar than I usually use, but I bet these are chewier than mine.
These are the ultimate comfort food! I like to put dried cranberries in mine sometimes too.
I love chewy oatmeal raisin cookies! I like to add finely chopped nuts to mine too.
