This recipe is one of my oldest. Funny thing is I haven’t made them in years and Mr. Nine’s sister’s name is Beth but they are not named after her, lol! They are my favorite oatmeal raisin cookie in the entire world! I made a batch recently and this time, it will not be years before the next batch is made. So good! They go fast because they have the best flavor!

I bought some raisins a while back with the intention of making oatmeal raisin cookies, but never got around to it. Maybe it was fate telling me I should make this recipe! <3

ReplyDeleteI’m going to say it, oatmeal raisin are the most disappointing cookie. You think you’re getting a chocolate chip...but nope!!!! Hahahaha. These do sound delightful though, I do like oatmeal raisin, just not near as much as chocolate chip ;)

Okay, these look great but I'll have to leave out the raisens and add some nuts. :o))
ReplyDeleteI love oatmeal cookies, but usually skip out on the raisins. This is pinned!
ReplyDeleteThese sound delicious! I add just a dash of nutmeg to mine and often substitute chocolate or butterscotch chips for the raisins. LOL. I like raisins but not in my desserts. ;)
ReplyDeleteI've never seen butter flavored shortening before. These look delicious, though. So, I'm going to have to keep an eye out for it! Thanks for sharing at Sweet Inspiration!

ReplyDeleteHi Andrea,
ReplyDeleteI made these cookies today and they taste really good.
My cookies did not come out looking like yours though. I did the recipe exactly like yours for the first batch and mine look like oatmeal raisin balls. LOl. For the second batch I flattened them out a little and they looked better. I don't know why they came out like that and I did everything exactly like your recipe. Can you think of a reason why they came out like this? The only thing I did different was to use splenda sugar instead of regular sugar.
I made them to send out to my girl at her college for her birthday next week. I know she will like them.
Thanks for the recipe.
Hugs, Julie xo
I could just reach for one of these Andrea :) Yummy.
