OATMEAL AND RAISIN COOKIES

If you are a fan of oat cookie, look no further. I discover this soft (even when cooled), buttery and not so sweet cookies using rolled oat, butter and raisin when trying to bake oatmeal cookies. I didn't turn out as expected, it became too soft like thick porridge and was thinking how to save the dough.

After adding more oatmeal, flour and a handful of raisin, it turns out great, easy to handle and now this is on top of my favorite cookies list. It's a real winner!
