Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
These are my favorite Oatmeal Raisin Cookies! They're are soft and chewy, and studded with sweet raisins. I've been making this recipe since I was little, and I have to say, it is still one of my favorite cookie recipes.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened; ~225g)
- 1 cup sugar (200g)
- 1 cup brown sugar (firmly packed; ~210g)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and levelled; ~240g)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 cups oats
- 1 ½ cups raisins
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each, then stir in the vanilla. Scrape down the bowl if needed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix on low speed (or gently by hand) until just combined. Stir in the oats until evenly mixed.
- Shape the dough into 1.5-tablespoon balls and place them 2 inches apart on the baking sheets.
- Bake one tray at a time for 10 to 13 minutes, or until the tops look set but still soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes before moving them to a wire rack or plate.
