These delicious cookies are crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside and super easy to make!
First off I want to say THANKS to all of you who are visiting my recipe for Crunchy Outside, Chewy Inside Oatmeal cookies that I posted almost 12 years ago! I mention the 12 years ago part because I want to apologize for how terrible the photo looks.
Let me just assure you that these cookies TASTE delicious despite what they look like in the photo. Now, lets get on to the original post:
Today I was playing around with my Healthy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe and ended up with this less healthy, but super yummy cookie. It has a crisp, crunchy outside (thanks to the olive oil addition) and a chewy texture inside.

These cookies sound great. My granddaughter loves cookies but the ones I buy in the store are too hard. I have been looking for a recipe for cookies that are good. garrettsambo@aol.com

If you like the cookies from the store, just put a slice of wheat bread in the cookie jar. The cookies will become soft. If you buy cookies that are too soft, just put a slice of wheat bread and they will become hard. This really works.

I would definitely add the raisins – I’ve got about 20 pounds that I dried last summer from all my grapes!
