Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
To me, the thing that makes an oatmeal raisin cookie good is the texture. These oatmeal raisin cookies use dark brown sugar, which results in a tender chewy cookie. Be sure to cream the butter and sugar mixture for a good 4-5 minutes before adding the remaining ingredients. This will also help you achieve a soft and light texture.Prep Time: 15 minutes
