Spicy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

*I'm currently visiting my boyfriend in Los Angeles, CA. He has so much style and taste when it comes to decorating his home but let me tell you...his kitchen is as bachelor as it gets! I made these cookies with a wire whisk (mixer... yeah right), a pot ( no mixing bowls), kitchen spoon (no rubber spatula), no oven mitts (used kitchen towels which is fine) and I didn't plan ahead so my butter wasn't at room temperature { this would be no biggie but.... he doesn't own a microwave because he thinks they are not healthy..c'mon! :) } BUT nonetheless they turned out great! I didn't mind the incomplete kitchen :) *

I found my GO-TO Oatmeal Raisin Cookie recipe! They are great... so soft and fluffy.
