You’ll never need another oatmeal cookie recipe again! I lived in the dorms during my freshman year of college, and with only a small fridge the size of a soft chewy cookies and no kitchen, I purchased a meal plan and ate most of my lunches and dinners in the dining hall.
Although usually somewhat skeptical of the entrées, I could always count on the salad bar for healthier options before stopping by the dessert station for sweet treats. Even then, I needed my daily fix! Those were the softest and chewiest you’d ever imagine. It was like biting into little circles of heaven!
I often headed down to dinner with my next door neighbor, who enrolled in many of the same classes and quickly turned into my study buddy. Since oatmeal raisin were his favorite too, we’d grab a plate to nibble on while quizzing each other about mechanisms and equations for our next chemistry and physics midterms. Thank goodness the rest of the freshmen seemed to avoid that flavor! And of course, being me and my blog, I wanted to make them healthier. They’re chock full of hearty oats, sweet raisins, and lots of warm cinnamon. They’re also just 100 calories with no refined flour or sugar.
