Parchment paper is a bit pricey, I pay just under 3-dollars per box, but it is worth every cent.
When I make oatmeal cookies I like to "plump" the raisins before mixing the dough. To do this simple place raisins in water and bring to a boil; cover and turn off heat. Raisins will soften and plump up in about 20 minutes. Drain before adding to the cookie dough.
I love oatmeal cookies with soft raisins; yummy!

Mix dry ingredients; except oatmeal. Beat margarine, sugars, eggs and vanilla until creamy. Add dry ingredients; mix well. Add soft raisins; mix well. Add oatmeal; mix well.

YUM!! We're on a diet, so that's a DOUBLE YUM!!! PS) I've never heard of plumping your raisins.
I invested in two Silpat silicone cookie sheet liners a couple of years ago. They take the place of parchment paper and my cookies turn out perfect every time now. They're kind of pricey, about $20.00 each, but they last for years and what you save on parchment paper, they would pay for themselves.
You're making me want some!!!
oh yummy! i have never cooked on parchment paper - i should really try it.
