Description
Oatmeal raisin cookies are soft, chewy, and filled with hearty oats, sweet raisins, and a touch of warm cinnamon. They’re a nostalgic, satisfying treat that’s easy to make and perfect for snacking any time of year.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup raisins
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until fully combined.
- Fold in the oats and raisins using a spatula or wooden spoon.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are just set.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Chill the dough for thicker cookies and less spreading.
- Soak raisins in warm water for 10 minutes for a plumper texture.
- Use a slice of bread in your storage container to keep cookies soft.
- Quick oats can be used, but the texture will be softer.
- Great for freezing—either the dough or baked cookies.
