In reply to Mary Smith. You can, Mary. If you want to substitute butter, you can, but know that butter has more water content, which can make your cookies spread more and change the texture slightly. They’ll still be delicious.

In reply to Sonja Hansen. I know, Sonja! They disappear pretty quickly in my house too! I'm not a dough eater but will sneak a few nibbles of this one. Thank you for stopping by and your comment!

Oatmeal raisin cookies have always been a favorite of mine. I had to laugh at the question as to how long they will last. I don’t know if it is worth it to try to measure it for such a short time. When my children were at home I used to hope there were some left by the time the kitchen was cleaned up.
