Chewy Oatmeal, Raisin, Pecan Cookies

Submitted by AZFoodie

"This is by far one of the best oatmeal cookie recipes that I have ever made! The cookies are plump, chewy, and full of crunchy pecans and raisins. The honey really sets if off with a unique taste. Once you make these cookies with the honey in them, you will never want to make oatmeal cookies without honey ever again! And it can be easily altered to your liking by changing the add-ins from raisins & pecans, to just about anything you want (walnuts, dates, dried cranberries, etc)."

A great oatmeal cookie recipe. They turned out just like you said. I love the addition of honey. It's a nice flavor. Try Cinnamon Chips for an add-in.
