So this is probably my third or fourth attempt at trying to find the perfect oatmeal raisin cookie recipe. But I think I've finally found my favorite. I found this recipe after digging through my old Iowa State Fair blue-ribbon cookbooks. I love everything about this cookie: the cinnamon flavor, the plump raisins, the chewy texture.
Here's the recipe, if you want to give it a try at home. Enjoy!
