susan's oatmeal cookie

Susan’s oatmeal raisin cookies were hard to resist. My husband and I were sailing an island race aboard Scott and Susan Burbank’s boat Rock On. Susan knows how to find recipes that are deliciously healthy. These cookies are wholesome and satisfying without processed sugar or bleached flour. Honey and orange juice provide sweetness and the oatmeal, walnuts and raisins are the time-honored combo for a great cookie. These cookies have become a familiar item on our racing lunch menu.
