Wheat Oatmeal Cookies

The kid’s and hubby were craving for some oatmeal cookies the other day. I was not really in the mood of baking but they were pretty annoying so I gave in ‘wink’. The oatmeal recipe that I used was taken from here. I made some changes to my liking for some reasons (out of all purpose flour and raisins).

If you like your oatmeal cookies to be crunchy and crispy then this is not for you. My oatmeal is kind a chewy and soft just the way I like it. So if you’re ready for some baking then here is the recipe.
