Oatmeal Cookies with Chocolate Covered Raisins

Don’t you love oatmeal cookies?  Well these are souped up with chocolate covered raisins.  I could eat the whole pack of chocolate covered raisins by myself and then I don’t feel so well.  Using my head here, I decided to put them in the oatmeal cookies and spread them around a little.  They received rave reviews from the guys.  I’m thinking these would work as school snacks too, oatmeal, raisins, all good for you.  As usual I have a super busy week ahead and these cookies will be great to grab on the go.  Hope your week goes well!
