I received these as part of a Christmas bake exchange. Charlene was kind enough to share the recipe with me! This makes a huge recipe but these freeze very well.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These cookies are a little too sweet for my taste, but they're still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not usually a fan of oatmeal cookies, but these are delicious! The combination of oats, raisins, and spices is perfect.

These cookies are so easy to make, and they always turn out perfect. I love that I can use different flavors of extract to create different variations.

I tried this recipe for my grandma's birthday, and she loved them! She said they tasted just like the cookies she used to make when I was a kid.

These cookies are a hit with my family! They're so soft and chewy, and the flavor is amazing. I love that they're not too sweet, so I can enjoy a few without feeling guilty.
