I haven't been there in about two years, but the Little Pie Company used to have really good oatmeal cookies.

I don't guess you're interested in prefabs from bodegas. But I still pine for those goddamned Boston Cookies.

I agree with Sassyfras- oatmeal cookies are incredibly easy to make at home. I use the recipe from inside the box top of the Quaker Oats tub, minus the raisins.

If you opt to bake your own, I suggest adding a packet of vanilla instant pudding to the dough and pre-soaking your raisins in water. Keeps everything plump and chewy. :-)

1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
3/4 cup butter flavored shortening
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla*
3 cups Oats (old fashioned, uncooked)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup raisins (optional)*
1. Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, beat brown sugar, shortening and granulated sugar until creamy. Add egg, water and vanilla; beat well. Add combined oats, flour, salt baking soda and cinnamon; mix well. Stir in raisins.
2. Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
3. Bake 11 to 13 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Remove to wire rack. Cool completely.
*variation: instead of using vanilla and raisins, try substituting orange extract and dried cranberries
