The first selection of April for Barefoot Bloggers was Raisin Pecan Oatmeal Cookies. I'll admit I was a little disappointed since I do not like raisins or pecans. I thought about doing a chocolate chip version with the oatmeal cookie base; but, when I showed the recipe to Zach he seemed pretty excited about them. So, I decided to make them as is, and just not eat any. We had my mom and grandparents coming into town for a weekend visit, so I made them then so Zach wasn't stuck with a ton of cookies to eat either. I did eat some of the dough as I was making them and it was very good. I did find that the recipe made a crazy amount of cookies though. I only have one cookie scoop, so maybe it's on the small side, but the recipe said 30-35 and I got over 50. I sent some home with my mom and grandparents, and even took some to my sister's store for her to share with co-workers. I have learned to half all of Ina's dessert recipes in the future! Unfortunately, making these as my mom and grandparents walked in the door, I never got a picture, but here is the link...
