Chewy Spiced Raisin Oatmeal Cookies
"Ok so I wasn't having much luck finding the right cookie texture, so I adapted this from a bunch of oatmeal cookies. A little of this , little of that. One secret to the chewy texture is I soak the raisins in hot water and hour before mixing them up, plus I added coconut to 'em.
This recipe is a HIT, my middle daughter doesn't even LIKE raisens and she munches on these all the time."
