Notes: ok, I MAY have added a little too much cayenne, but I think it is awesome. The ginger really seals the deal. I am not a raisin fan, but I though I might as well make some cookies at least a little like they are supposed to. These are pretty killer, and with the amount of cayenne I added they can easily be a prank to play on someone…the innocent cookie in reality is a deadly spice trap! Try them out on someone who likes oatmeal raisin. I know they will crave the classic, but they will for sure enjoy these too
