I’m on the hunt for the best oatmeal raisin cookie recipe from wartime that I can find. In my opinion, Oatmeal Raisin cookies need to be soft, chewy, not too sweet with a good balance of salt. They need to have just enough raisins, and definitely no nuts. But it’s been harder to find in wartime cookbooks than I thought.
