Expert Tips

Tailor these cookies to suit your taste. It's okay, for example, to omit the peanuts and increase the raisins or substitute walnuts for the peanuts.
Although quick-cooking or old-fashioned oats can be used for this recipe, the old-fashioned oats will make a chewier cookie with more texture.
