My go-to Best Oatmeal Cookies with Craisins recipe. Make these with or without craisins or swap in raisins.
The Craisins I use for this recipe:
Ocean Spray Craisins Dried Cranberries
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.
