BETH'S SPICY OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES

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!

  25. Hi Andrea,
    I 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
