Oatmeal Raisin Breakfast Cookies

What’s your favorite part of an oatmeal cookie? Mine is that hint of cinnamon you taste. So with this recipe, I made sure it had plenty of it. And I also included 2 different kinds of raisins. And let me tell ya, they are good! They didn’t last long in our house. Good thing we were able to share some before they disappeared!

My sister actually named them, so we’ll go with it! And I think it’s a perfect name. They are a cross between a cookie and a sweet scone. After you taste these you’ll want to eat them for breakfast too! Or any time of the day.

BTW Happy 2020! This past Christmas/New years break has been so nice to be with family. Besides some of us being sick it was great! Christmas with kids can be so magical! And with being a parent, you kind of get to relive it! But now with the holiday past us, the decorations need to come down. And so does my tree…
