Krop's Kookies (Oatmeal Raisin Spice Cookies)

With a best friend in town visiting, we wanted (and needed) to bake a dessert for a dinner party we were attending. With a taste for oatmeal raisin cookies in mind and never having tackled the cookie, we settled in on a rave recipe for 6 spice oatmeal raisin cookies. Krop (the nickname of the best friend visiting) and I baked one heck of a tasty and spicy cookie this Saturday afternoon. It is subtle spice, really giving the cookie some depth. The dessert was a hit at the dinner party (we served it up with a side of fresh whip cream and berries). And it must be noted... simple, simple, simple!

Then with hand, stir in the oats and raisins. The dough will be stiff. Spoon out the dough, size of a tablespoon, onto an un-greased baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes.
