There are some old-time favorite cookie recipes that bring back childhood. Classic Oatmeal Raisin cookies are one of them! Chocolate chip is the other.

Funniest thing that comes to mind every time I pick up an oatmeal raisin cookie is how can I pick the raisins off the top? Did you ever pick out all the raisins?

I'd like to say as an adult I don't pick the raisins out anymore, but who are we kidding! I guess theirs still a kid inside of me! Haha


Old Family Oatmeal Raisin Recipe


My mom didn't cook often, but cookies were one thing she did well!

This recipe was passed down from my grandmother, who was a fabulous cook. You'll see quite a few of her recipes within these pages.

One day my daughter asked me to bake some cookies for the school party at her elementary school. Of course I was in!

My daughter and I had such a wonderful time baking this recipe. Its as extra special since she was now the 4th generation backing these Classic Oatmeal Raisin cookies.

These cookies were a hit at my daughters elementary school.

Needless to say, her classroom loved the cookies! There were a couple of kids who were allergic to raisins. We got them some chocolate chip cookies.

They were such a big hit at the elementary school that they asked us to make them for the Christmas party that was coming up next. My daughter was so proud and happy. Every dirty dish was worth the smile on her face!

Maybe next year I'll try bringing my Chocolatey Peanut Butter Brownies or my Rice Krispy Scotcheroos. What kid doesn't like Rice Krispy treats!

I couldn't wait to bring you this recipe. I hope you'll enjoy them as much as we have over the years.
