Secrets to making an insanely delicious oatmeal cookie:
I’m not using raisins because they make the cookie too sweet.
Do not over bake.
Flatten the cookie before placing on the baking pan.
Refined coconut oil takes this cookie to another level. But, if you do not have refined coconut oil, then use regular neutral flavored cooking oil.
You have to use old fashioned oats. Do NOT use quick oats. It makes the cookie dry and cakey.
