These oatmeal cookies are very tasty and delightful! They are soft on the inside and textured on the outside.
I’ve made these cookies with and without chocolate chips and the taste great both ways depending on what you’re in the mood for! My dad is not a huge fan of chocolate, so I always make a batch with raisins and without chocolate chips for him. But my husband on the other hand, loves chocolate chips so I’ll usually throw in a handful of dark chocolate chips in the cookie dough after adding the oatmeal for him. Either way they are delicious and gone quickly after they come out of the oven!
