Cooking - Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Bars

Recipe:  Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Bars

From:  Nicole at Baking Bites

Notes:  I've made these a couple times and really like them.  They are a chewy and soft cookie bar.  Definitely don't overbake these!  They are super easy, quick to make, and doesn't use a lot of bowls/spoons/etc in the prep process.
