Crispy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

A little while ago my friend, Sukma made the thin and crispy version of the oatmeal cookies and shared it with us. We like it so much that I asked for the recipe and she kindly shared it with me. It is a nice change to the chewy ones we usually make.

Watching Kitchen Aid mixes the dough is very entertaining for a two years old but make sure he doesn't put his finger in.

So happy to finally get to work:

You can add chocolate chips or raisins. Since one of my boy like chocolate and the other like raisins I use both.

Next is the boys' favorite part: "the smash-down" although the original recipe says, "use your fingertips to gently press the dough". Clearly the boys or their mom do not follow recipe very well.
