I think oatmeal raisin cookies are highly underrated. Soft, chewy, and full of great texture makes these cookies one of my absolute favorites. I also love to swap the raisins for some dried cranberries for a nice fruity flavor!

Notes
Tapping your cookie tray on the counter isn't required, but deflating the cookies gives them a nice wrinkly texture and helps keep them moist!
You may need to alter your bake time depending on your oven; when I moved into my house and started using a gas oven for the first time, I had to re-work all of my recipes! Don’t get discouraged.
