I didn't bother processing the initial ingredients to get "finely chopped raisins" - seems to me the whole raisins are the best part of these kinds of cookies.  They were just fine this way.  On the whole, the cookies are a bit dense, and remain in the "drop" cookie shape - they don't spread like other cookies.  I used old fashioned oatmeal also (quick cook oatmeal is just old-fashioned that has been chopped up).  My husband thought they were great, especially since they're lo-cal and don't have cholesterol (he's watching his).  They were too sweet for me, with the 2 cups of sugar plus 1 T of molassas, but in general the flavor was nice.  I'll keep this recipe and cut some of the sugar next time.
