Here at Baking Mad we are partial to the occasional Oatmeal Raisin cookie and these ones are delicious. What's more they are really simple to make, they only take 10 minutes to bake and are a reduced sugar recipe. Instead of sugar we have used Truvia to bring the sweetness. Oatmeal Raisin Cookies are a perfect mix of crunchy oats, chewy sweet raisins and a subtle hint of cinnamon. They may not look like show stoppers but they certainly pack in the flavour.
