Oatmeal Raisin Cookies are a big and fat, golden brown cookie with a bumpy surface all dotted with raisins. Their edges are crisp, their flavor sweet, and their texture is wonderfully soft and chewy.
I use this recipe when making my rose cake, my hydrangea cake, or any cake that I want the frosting to be able to hold its shape! This makes quite a bit, but can be refrigerated quite easily. And yes, I sometimes use half crisco/half butter. This recipe is SWEET. Super sweet.
