Oatmeal, Raisin and Chocolate-Chip Cookies

Oatmeal, Raisin and Chocolate-Chip Cookies by Yamini Vasudevan

what is it about oatmeal-raisin cookies that spells instant comfort? i can’t say – and i have spent a good 10 minutes writing and erasing words trying to convey my feelings. but then again, if you like oatmeal-raisin cookies, you probably don’t need me to convince you about why they are so enticing but apart from their crispy-chewy…
