And when the first roll’s gone, you are powerless to resist grabbing for just one more. The first bite you take will make you think of a fresh cinnamon roll, and then you can’t stop eating it. The rolls are fresh out of the oven and they hit the table when you do, so there’s no waiting to tear into a magnificently gooey sweet roll topped with soft cinnamon butter. I never thought dinner rolls were something I could get excited about until I got my hand into the breadbasket at Texas Roadhouse. Raising the oven temperature a little-to 300 degrees F-will help with browning and still keep the cookies chewy. Also, reduce baking soda to 1 1/2 teaspoons and cinnamon to 1/2 teaspoon.

You want the cookies soft and chewy when cool-just like a happy grandma would make. Now you can bake up a couple batches of your own with my GrandMa's oatmeal raisin cookies copycat recipe. This large, soft cookie comes two to a pack and is offered in several varieties, including oatmeal raisin. Continue baking for 3-4 more minutes, or until edges are golden brown.GrandMa's Cookie Company was founded back in 1914 by Foster Wheeler, but it wasn't until 1977 that the company introduced the popular Big Cookie.

So yes, use 1 tsp and the recipe is practically identical to Subway’s! The first batch I made, I followed the recipe and used 1 tbsp, and although every single cookie was eaten, it was too much cinnamon.
Trust me, it is not supposed to be 1 tbsp.
The recipe calls for coconut. I was not expecting that! Frank said they taste just like Subway’s, so whoever posted that recipe must know what they’re talking about! The recipe does call for 1 tbsp of ground cinnamon. His absolute favorite are the ones from Subway! He found a website with imitation restaurant recipes. My boyfriend, Frank, however, loves oatmeal raisin cookies. The worst is when I’m at my school dining hall and I think I see chocolate chip cookies and they’re actually oatmeal raisin. This might not be a good way to start a blog post, but I really don’t like oatmeal raisin cookies.
