Recipe of the Week – Teresa’s Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
(From the Dessert Collection at emealsforyou.com)
Teresa's Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Chef Teresa sends us this wonderful, and I do mean wonderful, cookie recipe. Now I must be upfront with you and say that I really didn’t like oatmeal cookies before I tried one of these. We were doing a demo of our website at a local Learning Center, each of us brought a couple of things for the moms and dads to try. Teresa showed up with several dishes, among them these cookies. As I said, oatmeal cookies were not my favorites, but Teresa prevailed and I tried one, then another; then Teresa had to move them away from me to protect some for the guests.
These cookies are great at getting your kids to eat oatmeal. It is an easy transition from these sweet, chewy cookies, that they will love, to eating a good hot bowl of oatmeal in the morning. Make a batch and see how fast they disappear. The secret, just like the recipe says, is soaking the raisins before putting them in the batter…
