Chewy Oatmeal Cookies
Chewy oatmeal cookies are the best. I love making this to treat my coworkers once in a while, and they love it. I use lots of chocolate chips, raisins, nuts, and cinnamon in my oatmeal cookie recipe. These soft cookies are so easy to make. You can alter this recipe if you like. For example, you can use dried cranberry and white chocolate chips instead, especially during Christmas.
