Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
A classic American-style baked cookie with a soft, chewy centre and lightly crisp edge, built on rolled oats, plump raisins, and a warm note of cinnamon. Brown sugar gives a gentle caramel depth, and the generous batch of twenty-four makes these equally at home as an everyday snack, a lunchbox addition, or something to share with a crowd.
