Honey Oatmeal Cookies

Today I whipped up a quick batch of Honey Oatmeal Cookies. The recipe came from Company's Coming "Cookies". These are simple drop cookies that are super easy and quick to make. The result is a very nice, sweet, chewy cookie with a subtle honey flavor. These oatmeal cookies are on the softer side, but for more crunch they could always be baked for a few minutes longer. They are soft and chewy and very good. The recipe called for raisins, but I did not use any. Instead, I divided the dough in half and added semi-sweet chocolate chips to one half. I left the other half plain, and they were delicious as is! The plain are pictured here in the front and the chocolate chip are in the back.
