"I've always wanted an oatmeal raisin bar cookie recipe that's chewy and cookie-ish, not too cakey. (I'm too lazy to drop cookies.) I became such a fan of Recipe #98981 that I decided to see if it would work as an oatmeal raisin cookie. It worked great! This pan was gobbled up just like the original. Thanks Marg!"
