These cookies are a new favorite of ours, I make them about once a week. I found the original recipe here http://buddingbaketress.blogspot.com/2011/07/chewy-oatmeal-chocolate-chip-cookies.html but of course I tweaked it a bit. I hope you like it, they go great with coffee.
Oatmeal chocolate chip and raisin cookies
1/2 cup (1 stick) + 6 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 tsp flax seed, ground
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
3 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup raisins
Cream the butter and sugars together. Add eggs one at a time mixing well with each addition. Add vanilla. In a seperate bowl mix flour, baking soda, salt,flax seed, and cinnamon. Add to wet ingredients mixing well each time. Fold in the oats and choclate chips and raisins. Bake on greased baking sheets for 9 ish minutes at 350 degrees. They will still look under done but will be done, if that makes sense. If they cook too long they will be hard.
Edited to add:
I just made these with half whole wheat flour and half white, I also used dried plums instead of raisins. Im betting most dried fruits would be awesome in these. It took a tiny bit linger to cook, but tastes delicious.

Cinnamon Raisin Bread
This bread is awesome and super tastey. It never lasts too long at our house and makes excellent toast for breakfast. To make it you have to make the buttermilk bread dough below and refrigerate it.
Cinnamon Raisin Bread
1 1/2 pounds (cantaloupe sized piece) of Buttermilk bread dough
Butter or neutral tasting oil to grease pan
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/3 cup sugar
3/4 cup raisins
egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp of water)
Lightly grease pan and set aside. Dust the top of the refrigerated dough and cut off 1 1/2 pound piece. Dust the piece with more flour and quickly turn the sides under turning the ball as you go. Roll it out in a rectangle like appearance keeping it about 1/4" thick, using more flour as needed. Using a pastry brush spread on egg wash covering the entire surface. Mix cinnamon and sugar together and sprinkle on dough evenly as possible. Then sprinkle on raisins evenly. Starting at the short side roll it up jelly roll style. Pinch the edges and ends together and tuck the ends under. Place in pan and allow to rest 1 hour and 40 minutes. Then preheat the oven to 375, and bake 35 to 40 minutes until golden brown. Then remove it from the pan and allow to cool completely before cutting.
