I bake a big batch of these gingerbread cookies each year. It just wouldn't be Christmas without them.

Spiced Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

I’m a big fan of oatmeal raisin cookies and make them throughout the year. Sometimes I leave the raisins out, sometimes I use chopped apple instead. In December though, I take things to another level with these holiday spiced oatmeal cookies. The spices and nuts take this from a rather plain cookie to something really […]
