Oatmeal Cookies With Raisinets

I've been thinking about making cookies with Raisinets for a long time... Plan A was to make a batch of Chocolate Chip Cookie dough and just sub the Raisinets for the chips, in looking at recipes that is indeed an option. But then I saw Oatmeal Cookies and just had to give them a try, 'cause you know, the oatmeal makes them healthy... right? Right:@)
I thought they were good and something a little different.
PS-Our friends at Nestle saw this post (such a small world:@) and wanted me to mention that there are recipes and a $1 coupon at facebook.com/raisinets. So stop by if you'd like!
