     A while ago, I went on an Oatmeal Cookie quest to find a recipe that my husband would find to be as good as his grandma's.  I don't know that I ever accomplished that magical feat, but my husband was really happy to get to eat a lot of Oatmeal Raisin cookies for awhile.  
     The other day, I was thinking that I should make him another batch.  I was tempted to put chocolate chips in them because that is how I like them.  But, I also like raisins as well.  Then, I came across these! 

Chocolate Covered Raisins! The best of both worlds!

     I actually used my favorite Browned Butter Oatmeal Raisin Cookie recipe, and just substituted the chocolate covered raisins for the regular raisins.  It did change the texture of the recipe a bit I think.  The raisins weren't as prevalent as in the regular recipe.  What you get are these bursts of sweet surprises as you eat the cookies. 

This LIndt Brand of chocolate raisins are nice and plump and chocolaty.

I may need to make more of these right away.

     In case you don't want to go back to my old post, where there is a pdf of the recipe, I am going to post a printable version here! I hope that you enjoy it as much as we did.  I told my son, who is serving a mission in Africa, about this recipe.  He asked me, "Why didn't you think of those before I left?"  Ha Ha!  I promised to make him some when he gets home!
