![]() I don’t quite remember how they compare to Deedee’s Costco cookie container if I’m being honest, but I can tell you that they’re delicious just the same.īy way of introduction, I am Mark Schaefer, and I represent Nutritional Products International. If grandma didn’t send you on your way with an oatmeal raisin recipe, look no further. Plus, the whole “oatmeal” thing means that they make a perfectly acceptable breakfast cookie as well. They’re super soft and chewy, studded with raisins, and swirled with notes of cinnamon. My mother-in-law mentioned a couple months ago that oatmeal raisin was her all-time favorite, and I figured that my father-in-law, who isn’t crazy about desserts, would enjoy this classic, not-too-sweet cookie. While these cookies get a lot of animosity from the raisin-haters of the world, I think they’re delicious and comforting and I was excited to make a batch to send to my in-laws for their 30th anniversary last week. While the cookies weren’t necessarily made with love by my grandmother, they were 100% purchased with loved, and thus, my grandmother-oatmeal-raisin-association still stands strong today. ![]() Whenever she took out the cookie bin, excited to treat us with a “sweet cracker” just minutes after finishing breakfast, I’d think to myself, “I hate raisins”, and then happily ignore my supposed preference as I consumed mass amounts of the oatmeal cookies. Every year, she’d buy a big container of Costco’s Oatmeal Raisin Cookies for my brother, who chose these as his go-to favorite snack. Then, she’d go out and buy everything that made the list, so that she could spoil us throughout the week in between trips to the pool and outings to the flea market that we were weirdly obsessed with when we were little. Before we’d fly south, my grandmother, Deedee, would call us up to inquire about our favorite eats of the moment- cereals, lunch meats, desserts, you name it. You see, when I was little, my family would go visit my grandparents down in Florida each winter. I know what you’re thinking: everyone says that the age-old cookie conjures up various childhood memories of grandma’s house, but I certainly don’t remember my grandmother ever making them. Cliché of the day: Oatmeal Raisin Cookies remind me of my grandmother.
