Spicy Oatmeal Cookies

My daughter was craving oatmeal raisin cookies and this recipe came to mind.  I love the soft, chewy texture and hint of molasses flavour.  They are super easy cookies to make - no chilling the dough or fussy cutting...I use an ice cream scoop to portion out the dough - makes it go really fast!
