Great recipe! Just a few tips...I didn't use raisins, I just used more chips. I put in butterscotch chips instead. It was beneficial to let the dough sit so the oatmeal can absorb all the wet stuff. There isn't any flour so that needs to occur. Also, when rolling the cookies, it's beneficial to make sure the dough forms a solid dough ball, otherwise they spread out and aren't as firm. Great flavor and turned out wonderful. I'm not usually a Paula fan but these were fab!

Added some Reese's pieces and used a 15oz can of peanut butter. I also chilled the batter before baking. Cookies were fabulous!

These cookies were very good! I also liked the fact that you don't have to use any flour.
I baked them for 15 minutes, because our family likes our cookies a little more crisp...I also creamed the butter, sugars and eggs first... then added the peanut butter, and the rest of the dry ingredients to the recipe. My little one also convinced me to add reeses pieces to the mix as well... Enjoy!
