Oatmeal Cookies
By Mary McDougall
This is a variation of the cookies that I have been making for years. These are easy to modify by adding some chopped nuts or vegan chocolate chips instead of the raisins (which also raises the fat content of the cookies). These are cake-like cookies, not too sweet, and probably the healthiest cookies around!
