Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

So how many recipes are there Oatmeal Raisin Cookies?  Probably millions right?  Well, this one was from the book I've been working through - "Pillsbury Best Cookies" cookbook.  The recipe is quite different from the Quaker Oats "Vanishing Oatmeal Raisin Cookies" recipe and much different from my mom's "Oatmeal Choc Chip Cookie" recipe.  So which is best?  Further investigated is needed into that question...

This recipe was easy to mix up and tasted very good, but not totally outstanding.  They were a good cookie.  Maybe "Best" cookie is a little bit of a stretch.

Here is a picture.  I'm playing with the camera settings to take better pictures of the cookies.  I don't think I have it down quite yet.  They looked better than what the picture shows.
