    Oatmeal Cookies with Marinated Raisins are not your traditional oatmeal cookie. They get added flavor from raisins soaked in rum and orange juice.

    These are not your traditional oatmeal cookie, which I love, but a nice variation.  Unlike the basic oatmeal cookie, the texture is different and the flavors are great from the marinated raisins and freshly ground nutmeg.  Next time I make a more traditional oatmeal cookie, I’ll try using these raisins.  I’ve soaked raisins before in boiling water to soften them, but cooking with rum, wine and orange juice infuses them with a great flavor along with plumping them so they’re not hard or chewy when you bite into the cookie.

    For the first batch I used golden raisins and did not refrigerate the dough.  However, for the second batch, I used an assortment of raisins, added some walnuts and then refrigerated the dough.  I liked the second ones a tad better. There was a bit more variety from the raisins and refrigeration helped the texture a little.  Not enough that I would say that you have to refrigerate them, just do so if you have time.
