Quaker Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Wow, I got into quite a non-blogging rut there. I may have even forgotten I had a blog.

I still bake sometimes, but I find I get sugar headaches quite easily, particularly if I just taste icing on its own (like, even just a tiny bit to check it's not horrible before I put it on a cake), so I have to be a bit careful.

I made some oatmeal raisin cookies recently for a charity bake sale, and I think the oats do a good job of balancing the sugar content.


You can find the --->recipe here<<--- and I found the serving size was actually spot on - a neat 4 dozen smallish cookies!

And since they were for sale they were all bagged and labelled. (Sorry, planet.) Oh, also I soaked the raisins in boiling water for about 10-15 minutes before adding, because I read somewhere that that makes them plumper and reduces the chance they'll burn.
