Can I use all purpose flour?
Hi Sonia- great question. I only use self-rising flour in this recipe but you can try it with all-purpose if that is all that you have. Let me know how it turns out!
These sound good. Is there a recipe for soft oatmeal/raisin cookies.
Tried these tonight. These were the perfect balance of a crunchy outside and perfectly chewy inside—exactly what I was looking for. Super simple. For a slightly more complex flavor, I think I’ll add a little cinnamon next time and use salted butter instead of the unsalted that I used this time.
Thanks for letting me know! Definitely a favorite over here!
