I have four children on whom I love to try out new recipes! I love to cook Italian food. And cookies! I love cookies! I found a great Oatmeal Raisin cookie recipe on this site and it is the best cookie I have ever eaten! The secret is to boil the raisins for five minutes and let stand for ten minutes more. http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Oatmeal-Raisin-Cookies-VII/Detail.aspx Chocolate chip cookies are a tragedy every time I make them. I have altered the recipe over several years. My cookies come out flat, greasy and crisp every time. My only hope is that the humidity (not me!) causes my chocolate chip cookies to be awful.
