Grandma's Oatmeal and Raisin Cookies
I have been studying closely food stylists and food photography. On that note, here is my attempt to tempt with an image and a recipe that I made from my grandma's recipe.

I really love that you have cut down this recipe to a decent size. The version I have leaves enough cookie to pig out for days.
HAHA!
Yes, I found the same thing...that a whole recipe made way too much. I also found added coconut kept them a good shape instead of splaying out like flat pancakes.
