Oatmeal Raisin Cookies have always gotten a bad rap. Everyone loves good ol’ fashioned chocolate chip – while poor raisin gets no love. 

Not anymore! Am I the only one who sometimes craves a cinnamon-y, oatmeal raisin cookie? They’re generally more crisp than a chocolate chip – studded with chewy raisins and cinnamon scented. They’re a great rainy-day cookie. They’re comforting, warm and filling. 

Even better, this version is much healthier than the bakery-store oatmeal raisin, or – gasp – a store bought out-of-the-box hard-as-rocks cookie. These are made with whole large oats (not quick-cooking), and coconut oil. 

It had been super hot these past few weeks, making April one of the warmest we’ve had! But, in the last week the rain came in and chilled things off a bit. Warm cookies always help with cooler days, and these are perfect to have on hand. They’re great for baking and freezing too, in case you need a cookie pick-me-up. Or, if it gets hot again, scoop some ice-cream between two cookies and make yourself an ice-cream sandwich!
