Oatmeal and Almond Raisin Cookies
Patricia @ ButterYum
Have you ever met an Oatmeal Raisin Cookie you didn't like? I love, love, love them... and couldn't wait to try this version when I got my Secret Recipe Club assignment. The recipe is unique in the fact that it includes a touch of almond extract - something I don't think I've ever seen in an oatmeal raisin cookie before, but I was eager to try it out. I have one word for these cookies - YUM! Thanks to Heather and Madeline (Her adorable daughter/sous chef) from Join Us, Pull Up a Chair for sharing this wonderful recipe.
