My favorite cookie ever would have to be oatmeal raisin. I think they are amazing. And due to the time of year, the smell of cinnamon will just add to the wonder that is Fall and Winter. This was my families old version, which I updated to my specified preferences. I also added a list down below of my favorite products that I use for this recipe. They can be a bit expensive, but add such depth and flavor, especially the Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla. I use that in everything pretty much. Also, I never wrote down the exact prep time, cook time, or servings. So, I wrote down what I could remember from memory. It normally takes me about 5 minutes to mix everything because I know it really well. But, it should take about maybe 10 minutes to mix and then the other 10 to sit. So, I put it around 23ish minutes. Cook time only takes 13 for me, and you let them cool for 7 in the pan and then again on a wire cookie wrack. We've never waited 30 minutes till we started eating them, but I figured I'd be on the safe side. *I get my spelt flour from Arrowhead Mills *I use Vietnamese Cinnamon from King Arthur Flour *I use Organic Coconut Palm Sugar from Live Superfoods *I use Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla from King Arthur Flour *For Dark Brown Sugar I use a brown sugar called 'Dark Muscovado Sugar" from India Tree. You can buy it online from Amazon. Or go to http://www.indiatree.com to find a store near you. *I get my Rolled Oats from Bob's Red MIll
