Oatmeal Cookie Recipes - please share!

My husband is away for the next 7 days and I'm trying to figure out how to occupy my time... I'm thinking baking is a good way to do it.  I'd like to make some oatmeal cookies to freeze now for after our little guy comes (I hear it helps with keeping up your milk supply), but I've never made oatmeal cookies before.  

Please share your recipes!  Thanks!!

I always use the one on the inside of the quaker oatmeal lid. They are pretty delicious everytime I make them. I usually add chocolate chips instead of raisins though lol.

This is my favorite oatmeal raisin cookie.  The added clove is a nice touch.  I also add a few sprinkles of ginger and nutmeg when I make them, and if I add raisins, I like to mix yellow and dark raisins.  Plus, the batter keeps really well in the fridge or freezer
