Comments: I usually cut this recipe for cakey, low-fat cookies in half, substitute chocolate chips for the raisins, and add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts. I remember a very rainy day in 2003 when we were the only boat tied to a small Forest Service float in Hobart Bay on Entrance Island in Alaska, sitting out some rather nasty weather. Windy, with temps around 55°F and pouring rain, we felt secure tied to the float, and baking these chocolate chip oatmeal cookies was the perfect activity for the afternoon!
