Cinnamon Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

These cinnamon oatmeal raisin cookies may have just won the award of "the best oatmeal raisin cookies ever." What elevates these cookies above every other recipe? The pinch of cinnamon adds the perfect amount of spice to this classic cookie, and these cookies come out of the oven perfectly moist and chewy. Packed brown sugar is the perfect sweet touch to these cinnamon oatmeal raisin cookies. Feel free to add another half cup of raisins if your heart (and tastebuds) desire! Insider raisin tip: soak raisins in water for ten minutes before mixing them into the dough, blotting well to dry them, for extra-plump raisins.

Orange Cooler

Mountain Dew Apple Dumplings

This Mountain Dew apple dumplings recipe may sound a little strange, but trust us: this is one of the most decadent, nearly sinfully good recipes that we have ever come across. Flaky crescent rolls and a huge helping of butter make this recipe dangerously delicious. We recommend using Granny Smith apples; a less tart apple can make the apple dumplings too sweet, while Granny Smiths provide just the right amount of tang.
