Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

I. Hate. Raisins.
I don’t understand why people insist on ruining so many good foods by putting raisins in them. Cinnamon bagels, cinnamon bread… oatmeal cookies. When I was a kid, I had oatmeal cookies that didn’t have raisins in them, and they were delicious. So when I was told that oatmeal cookies usually have raisins, I was shocked and appalled. Raisins are gross. I will stand by this forever. Especially when you pair it with something with cinnamon in it. How dare you besmirch something as pure and good as cinnamon with something as nasty as raisins! It ought to be a hanging offense! A HANGING OFFENSE, I SAY!
…Ahem.
Anyway, I decided to make my own oatmeal cookies, only without those horrible raisins. I had a lot of quick-cook oats left from a different baking venture that I still haven’t gotten around to posting on here, and they’re expiring in another month or so, so I figured it was time to use them for something else.
