Easy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

"I've been quite obsessed with oats and these oatmeal raisin cookies, buttery, chewy and delicious are one of the results of the obsession. There’s a bit of confusion namewise though: as it often happens things are called differently here in the UK and stateside. What we call ‘porridge’ you call ‘oatmeal’, while for me oatmeal is the powdery, milled oats. ‘Rolled oats’ have not been precooked in the UK but they might be in the US. And the very best for you, the long-burners, keep-you-full-till-lunchtime ones are called steel-cut (Am.) or pinhead (Br.)"
