Soft Oatmeal Raisin Molasses Cookies

There are some people who go to grab a cookie thinking it's a chocolate chip cookie and are disturbed when they bite into it and find out it's actually a raisin cookie. I, on the other hand, LOVE raisin cookies...especially if they are oatmeal raisin cookies. What sets this recipe apart is that in addition to oats and raisins, it also contains a bit of molasses that add a very rich flavor to the cookies. They were incredibly addictive...I just kept on eating them. They are soft and chewy too, so the recipe is definitely a keeper :)
