If you haven’t made these cookies, I just know you will want to bake them today!

There’s a reason for the semantics in the recipe title.  It says “delicious raisin” oatmeal cookies, not delicious oatmeal raisin cookies.

The raisins in this recipe have a taste you never knew raisins could have.  There is a super secret special technique for these cookies that we’re sharing with you.

You’re welcome.

The thing about secrets

is that if we share them, they’re not secrets, are they?

But how could I live so long without knowing the secret to delicious raisins?

So we feel it is our mission to reveal this secret today for the younger generations

so they don’t have to live to be grammas before tasting these special cookies.

(Back to semantics, in this case secret really means special technique that no one would guess could make such a difference.  It’s not secret in the way that you can never, ever cross-your-heart tell one soul about this.  Some secrets are important to know. Especially when they involve delicious recipes.)

Let’s bake these Raisin Oatmeal Cookies.

I had never heard of this.  Never, ever.
