I am excited about this recipe. These oatmeal raisin cookies are so soft and chewy. They are now my husband, Kendrick’s favorite cookie. There is cream cheese in this recipe. It adds moisture and an extra layer of flavor. Making cookies is so much fun to do with my children. They love it! We had so much fun making our Lofthouse-Inspired Sugar cookies. Here’s the recipe if you’d like to try these delicious cookies https://www.love-jane.com/recipes/lofthouse-inspired-sugar-cookies . One of their favorite cookies to make and eat is our chocolate chip cookies https://www.love-jane.com/recipes/chocolate-chip-cookies I love making a batch, baking some and storing the other batter in the refrigerator or the freezer. That way we can enjoy freshly baked homemade cookies immediately. You can make these oatmeal raisin cookies ahead as well.
