Soft and chewy are just the right words to describe these healthy oatmeal cookies. I knew the honey would keep the cookies moist, which it did. Instead of curdling the milk, I just subbed yogurt, and that worked just fine. My raisins were a little hard, so I soaked them in some apple juice and then added them to the batter along with some chopped pecans. I halved the recipe with no trouble, but next time I'll make the whole batch because these are really delicious cookies.
