Sometimes there is just a certain cookie that you really want, but every time you try to make them, life gets in the way. I've been meaning to make these cookies for a LONG time, and every time I would get the butter out to soften, it would have to go right back into the fridge.
Well thank goodness I finally made them. Because wow. These are by far the BEST oatmeal raisin cookies ever.
Ever.
You hear me? Ever!
Ok, I'll stop.
The recipe came from the authority - Mr. Quaker Oats himself. Seriously! The recipe is under the lid! How convenient!
