One of my all-time favorite cookies is Old Fashioned Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. My wife likes some chopped walnuts in hers so I always make her a batch with nuts. Optional of course.

💭 Recipe Tip
Don't you hate it when raisins get stuck together in a big clump? To unstick the raisins, wet your hands with a little water then work the raisins apart.
I let my oatmeal cookies bake for 15 minutes give or take. Time may vary based on several factors but you will want to bake them till the edges of the cookies become golden brown. The top of the cookies will still be soft to the touch.
The end result is a soft oatmeal cookie with a hint of cinnamon. Oh yeah, and raisins. And if you used some chopped walnuts when you made this awesome old fashioned oatmeal cookie recipe you would obviously get that added flavor.
