When I was asked to make an Oatmeal Raisin Cookie for the first time, I wasn’t too excited. I had never tasted one that I liked—NEVER! So I said, reluctantly, OK. I thought to myself there are other cookies that I like making more and probably taste better. However, I was sending them to a soldier stationed in Iraq who was Erica’s friend. This was his favorite cookie and I was going to make enough for him to share.
My gosh, to my surprise, this was one of the best cookies I ever made!!! This made an Oatmeal Cookie Lover out of me, but only “my” oatmeal cookie. I have tried other oatmeal cookies but I haven’t liked them. Often I just throw them away—it’s not worth the calories. These happen to be worth every single calorie and trust me, there are plenty.
If you’re going to a party and need to bring cookies, you want to try these. They are truly heavenly. You can also make the dough in advance and freeze it. Just take out enough dough as you need when needed to make cookies. Make a couple of batches and wrap them in saran wrap and then a festive wrap and give as gifts for the holidays. You will be someone’s “very best friend.”
This recipe comes from one of my favorite books: “Stressed is Just Desserts Spelled Backwards” by Sheryl Meddin and Bennett Frisch. This is on page 75.
