Tad’s Honey Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

I am not a big raisin fan. Still, on occasion, I have eaten an oatmeal raisin cookie that was just delicious. What I like is a chewy texture, almost like eating candy and not too spicy. I offer to you my best effort so far to achieve that sweet chewiness that goes so well with raisins.
