Oatmeal Almond Cinnamon Cookies

If you want a delicious, crispy AND chewy cookie...then try these! We went through a batch of these in just a couple of days. It's one of those cookies that's easy to grab and munch on as you walk by the cookie jar. I'm not kidding when I say how good these are! The golden raisins are way better than regular raisins in my opinion so they make these cookies extra special. Good, good, good!!!
