Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Norris' favorite cookies= oatmeal raisin cookies. So, I had been wanting to make them (since I am absolutely AWFUL at making chocolate chip cookies that look pretty, and no, I'm not exaggerating). I can make them taste good, but not look good, and I wanted something kind of pretty since I'm planning to bring some to my first hour students tomorrow. Norris isn't back from golfing/dinner yet, so we'll see if there are enough left by tomorrow morning for me to bring any to my kids!

On another note, and to counter the cookies:), we went to spinning tonight. I am going to have some sore legs tomorrow! It was pretty fun, so we'll probably go every Tuesday night, except for "girls night Tuesdays".

I made the chewy version (bake less time) and they are awesome!
