Oatmeal Raisin Cookies for the Lunch Box!

 I’ve subscribed to the Food Network Magazine for many years! One of my favorite features is their section where they have an ingredient and then give you recipes to make with that ingredient. In the January/February edition it’s 50 Things to Make with Oats. My daughter chose Oatmeal Raisin Cookies since we love them. She has come a long way with baking and I know when she chooses a recipe from Food Network it’ll be easy and taste delicious too!
