What kind of nuts go well with raisins?

Question

I'm making oatmeal raisin cookies, the nuts i have are: cashews, almonds, pecans, brazil nuts, hazelnuts and peanuts.. maybe i should use chocolate chunks instead??

Answer 1

Cashews and Peanuts and chocolate chunks would taste well together so add those together

Answer 2

Chocolate Chip use Pecans

Oatmeal Raisin I would not use any nuts but bananas instead

Answer 3

Pecans are best, but almonds are good too ..... Next time, try some macadamia nuts with white chocolate chips for a change:)

Answer 4

my daddy made oatmeal cookies all the time when i was little. i liked watching him and helping him stir it up. he's a pecan fan, and sure enough thats what he put in our oatmeal raisin cookies :] chocolate chunks would go really great with it too! i'd bet marshmallows would be a great twist to the recipe!!

Answer 5

i would put almonds  with oatmeal and rasins...the others are good for less 'hearty' cookies (well pecans would be alright too I guess)

Answer 6

mmm pecans would be great! :-)  that would be my personal choice, but i don't think you could really go wrong with any of those. i personally wouldn't use both chocolate and raisins, i'd pick one or the other, but i know that some people like both...have fun!

Answer 7

I personally like walnuts, but pecans work well to.  It`s just a matte of taste.

Answer 8

don't use any nuts or chocolate.  just make oatmeal raisin, and if you are really itching to add something else to the cookies, add a little nutmeg or even pumpkin pie spice to give it a little different flavor.  there is already a lot of texture going on in the cookie as it is, so you don't want to overwhelm the palate.
