These oatmeal raisin cookies are moist on the outside and just the right amount of crispy on the edges. Yes, they are made with shortening. You can sub another type of oil, but there’s something about shortening that makes these taste so delicious. The spices are mostly optional. Definitely keep the cinnamon and swap out the other spices for nutmeg, or allspice. The Turbinado sugar topping right before baking adds a touch of extra sweetness and crunch.

The secret to these super moist and not too sweet muffins is the labne yogurt. It’s a thick and rich yogurt previously only found in specialty stores (Persian markets) but is now carried in most markets. Topping the muffins with Turbinado Sugar for sparkle and sweet crunch is a must. (I do tend to just eat the tops!)
