My Grandma's Oatmeal Cookies from Christina Tosi's Milk Bar Life
These aren't your typical oatmeal cookies. No raisins (woo hoo!), just the right level of sweetness, and crackly on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. There will be not a single leftover (except for your full bag of raisins) after baking up a batch. PS This recipe comes from Christina Tosi's Milk Bar Life cookbook of amazingness.

I made ‘a version’ of these today, and they are just excellent! My husband requested oatmeal cookies, we don’t usually like raisins that much either… And he’s diabetic and sometimes needs a bit of sugar if his blood sugar level goes too low. He always has loved oatmeal cookies. Since he’s diabetic I did not roll them in powdered sugar, but did everything else and they came out fantastic. They’re similar to a chocolate chip oatmeal cookie that I make, which doesn’t have coconut so I knew I would like them. PS I used unsweetened coconut. It was just fine. Thank you so much! Always love your kick ass recipes!❤️
Made these today, stunning! Easy to make and really tasty. I split half mixture as is which are yummy and added some mini choc chips to other half. Both good but I prefer original recipe. Thanks for passing this recipe on...I've made crack pie a couple of times, now these cookies next is the birthday cake and the confetti cookies. Thanks again for this fab recipe I highly recommend it!
These look awesome - I am not a fan of coconut but willing to try because of the difference in the look of the cookies in your pic!
