Notes
You can replace the raisins with chocolate chips for a chocolate oatmeal cookie
To do a trial bake, scoop out one cookie and bake it to see how it turns out. If the trial cookie spreads too much, add 1-2 tablespoons (more if needed) flour to the dough. If it doesn’t spread enough add 1-2 teaspoons of milk.
