My go-to Best Oatmeal Cookies with Craisins recipe. Make these with or without craisins or swap in raisins.
Craisins vs Raisins
You can swap out the craisins for raisins if you prefer. I like the craisins tartness with the oatmeal better. Or just leave out the craisins and bake them plain.
For another healthy(ish) dessert recipe, see my date nut bars and hemp seed cookies.
If you don’t have sugar hangups, try my bourbon chocolate chip cookies and my soft sugar cookies with a hint of coconut.
