oatmeal craisin cookies

My coworkers asked me to bring in something sweet next week so I was looking through my cupboards to see what I had to work with. I realized I had everything to make oatmeal cookies except raisins. What I did have is Craisins, which are my new guilty pleasure. A friend of mine introduced me to them so I have been buying the little 100 calorie packs of them and having one every now and then. Here is my version of an Oatmeal Raisin Cookie, now called Oatmeal Craisin Cookies. :)
