Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Serves: 8
Happy Wednesday! I hope you had a great weekend and an even better start to your week! First off, I would like to apologize for not posting any recipes the last few days! I had recipes planned for both Sunday and Monday, but Saturday afternoon something started happening with the access to my blog. I wasn’t able to log in to my site to do anything! I have been on the phone with my hosting company and internet company almost all day since then. Even at this moment, I am still working withe them to fix things! I am hoping I am able to stay in my admin page long enough to post this for you! My poor sister and boyfriend have had to listen to me rant in the interim! (sorry guys!) Aren’t you glad you aren’t related to me? 
I didn’t want you to think I decided to hop on a plane and go away for vacation again! Although, that would have been nice! No, instead I have been in this beautifully freezing weather in NJ 
Is it summer time yet? In the mean time, I have this delicious cookie recipe to share with you! On Friday, a wonderful reader left a comment asking me if I had a recipe for an Oatmeal Raisin Cookie. I thought to myself, of course I do! Then I went in search for it on the blog……but I couldn’t find it! I knew I had made some before the holidays. So, I went into my pictures and low and behold, there it was! I had forgotten to share this recipe with you before Christmas! So, thank you to Maria for reminding me about this recipe! If it wasn’t for her I may have forgotten all about these yummy cookies….that I just may have happened to eat some all of!

I understand you are busy. I love the recipes and wait patiently
I am going to try these today to bake for my mother…but I have limited ingredients. So, I’ll have to use instant oats (I hope that is fine), and just regular sugar (I guess its still the same measurement?) and regular honey (not sugar-free). I hope that is not too too sweet. I might only make half (so 4 total) to see if she likes them or not before making a bigger batch (ingredients running low).
Hi! I am so happy you are enjoying the recipes! Unfortunately, this time I wasn’t away due to being busy, but a MAJOR problem with my access to the site! Ugh! So frustrating! I hope you enjoy the recipe! I wouldn’t recommend using instant oats, you would need rolled oats for this recipe otherwise they make come out squishy. You can sub regular sugar and honey if you’d like though! Let me know how they turn out!
Hi, I ended up using instant oats cause no rolled oats to be found. I also used regular honey and regular white sugar. Also, ran out of greek yogurt, so used some pumpkin , ha .
Still turned out great and moistt/chewy anyway! But I’ll eat anything. Literally (I just ate 1/4 jar of peanut butter with an entire tub of yogurt at 11 pm…help…seriously
I am glad they still turned out yummy! I would recommend contacting your doctor about your night time eating habits. That is something that is out of my realm. I’m sorry! I wish you the best of luck though!
I am all over this – YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope you get the blog stuff fixed soon – such a pain in the arse!
Thank you so much Jody! It looks (fingers crossed) like it is working now! And anytime I see a cookie recipe I think of you!
OMG. I am so excited about these! A cookie with no sugar to get me through my “no added sugar” challenge! YES, please!
Oh Yeah! I hope you try them out Carly! A no sugar challenge is hard, but soooo worth it in the end!
Thanks! Can’t wait to bake them!
You’re welcome Maria! I am so sorry it took me so long to get you the recipe! As you read in the blog, I had no access to my admin page since Saturday, so I couldn’t even access your email to send it to you! I hope you enjoy them!
No worries they were worth the wait! Ate my last one this morning, so I thought I would make another batch this morning, only to realize I ran out of almond flour!!! Agh! Anyway, thanks again!
I will let you know as soon as I get home Maria! I am actually flying back tonight! I am so happy you liked them…you better go run out and get some more almond flour girl!
Hi Maria! The syrup is Vermont Sugar Free Maple Syrup!
I have been craving cookies lately!!
Oh YUMMY! I cannot remember the last time I had a oatmeal raisin cookie. I did devour a bunch of chocolate chip cookies on Sunday night. HA! The sweet tooth was a calling…And yes this weather is flat out miserable!
mmmmm….chocolate chip cookies! Delicious!! Looks like our sweet tooth is back!
What a pain!! I hope you’ve got it all resolved by now my dear!!
Thanks girl! Looks like it is working again now! Let’s hope it stays that way!
Would I need to make any adjustments if I took out the maple syrup? And raisins
Hi Sarah — The raisins won’t matter but you would have to replace the maple syrup with another liquid sweetener like honey or agave!
These sound similar to my cinnamon raisin oatcakes, except they’re baked- major yum!
Cinnamon Raisin Oatcakes?!! YES!! Those sound amazing!
