Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Easy recipe for the ultimate Oatmeal Raisin Cookies - slightly crunchy on the outside with a perfectly soft, heavenly chewy texture when you bite into them.
Servings: 12 cookies
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- ½ cup dark brown sugar packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 ½ cups oats
- 1 ¼ cup raisins
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix in the eggs and vanilla.
- Add the flour mixture into the wet mixture and stir until just combined (be careful not to overmix).
- Stir in the oats and then fold in the raisins.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, add scoops of about 1.5 tablespoons cookie dough to the prepared cookie sheet. The cookies should be about 2-in. apart.
- Bake for 12-13 minutes in the preheated oven. The cookies should be evenly golden brown on top with cracks that are soft. Let the cookies cool for 2 - 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Don’t overmix your batter: When you combine your wet and dry ingredients, be careful to not overmix your batter. Stir the batter until it is just barely combined as it will get stirred more as you add your oats and raisins.
- Use a cookie sheet: If you have one on hand, a cookie sheet (preferably insulated) is best for these cookies. It will help to warm and bake the cookies evenly and to make them rise fully. When testing, this resulted in the softest, chewiest cookie results!
- This recipe makes 12 cookies, but it’s also easy to double the ingredients to make 24 cookies.
