sf, this sounds really yummy!

Raisins are evil so even though I love oatmeal cookies, I usually won't eat them because they're chock-a-block with raisins.

Thank you for posting this!

Starfire, I'm going to make those but since I don't eat dark or milk chocolate; I'm going to substitute white chocolate. I'm in a cooking/baking mood so I'll add these to the list of goodies I'm making.

Via, do you like dates? I've found that in many oatmeal cookie recipes you can substitute chopped/diced dates. Since I like both raisins & dates-sometimes I'll use 1/2 of each. ;D

Normally I am fairly agreeable. (IMHO ;D) However, in this case, if it looks like a raisin and "chews" like a raisin, you can call it anything you want but I still won't eat it.

I'm sticking with chocolate! I can smell it from a mile away and I hear it calling to me every afternoon about this time. Hmm...be right back...

My mother had some white chocolate morsels left in a bag and she added them also. It was good.
