Soft Baked Oatmeal Cookies Recipe

These incredibly soft oatmeal cookies are perfect for shipping – they stay moist and delicious! My nephew in Iraq and his buddies devoured a batch in one sitting! Accidentally omitting a cup of sugar (now corrected!) resulted in an unexpectedly delightful texture. Customize with chocolate chips, dried cranberries, or vanilla chips instead of raisins for endless variations. Get ready for rave reviews!
