Honey Shredded Wheat Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Submitted by Daniellaa

"These cookies are by far the bast oatmeal raisin cookies I have ever tried. The Shredded Wheat gives it an extra chewiness that I always try to find in this type of cookie. I came up with this idea on accident. I was making oatmeal raisin cookies and I didn't have enough oats. So rather than run to the store, I decided to improvise. Best moment of laziness I'll ever have."
