Deluxe Oatmeal Cookies

Okay, so we actually made these about a month ago but we've been busy. Up to Virginia to visit Adair for Parents' Weekend. Catering jobs. Our 13th wedding anniversary. Halloween. You would think with only one child at home, life would be slow and easy. Not so!
At any rate, these were definitely deee-lux cookies. They had it all (except chocolate). They were classically oatmeal chewy, with the sweet gum of raisins mixed in. They spread out thin which gave them a deceptively light taste. The cinnamon and cloves added a nice little spicy hint. The recipe made 6 dozen so we had plenty to share! Definitely would make these again.
Chloe seems fascinated with measuring the ingredients and putting them together in the mixing bowl. She definitely likes to create things! She is always "making up" recipes from food items we have around the house. She has come up with some pretty interesting concoctions, especially in the drink category - milk, apple juice, strawberry yogurt, chocolate sauce smoothie, anyone?
