Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

One of my favorite types of cookies is Oatmeal Chocolate Chip, so when I looked through the Zingerman's Bakehouse cookbook and saw the recipe for Big O Cookies, which uses raisins, I decided to tweak it a bit.

It turned out great, and next time I hope to make the original Big O Cookies!
