My Grandma's Oatmeal Cookies from Christina Tosi's Milk Bar Life
These aren't your typical oatmeal cookies. No raisins (woo hoo!), just the right level of sweetness, and crackly on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. There will be not a single leftover (except for your full bag of raisins) after baking up a batch. PS This recipe comes from Christina Tosi's Milk Bar Life cookbook of amazingness.
