OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIE RECIPE FULL

If you love raisins, I guarantee this is the best oatmeal raisin cookie recipe you will ever try.

I originally published this oatmeal raisin cookie recipe back in 2017 and they’ve been a huge reader favorite! I decided it was finally time to update this recipe with more instructions and pictures so you can see just how easy they are to make. Is there anything better than a soft, thick, and chewy cookie? I’ve always been a huge fan of oatmeal cookies because there’s so many different things you can mix into them and they’re always delicious. These cookies are easy to make and so delicious! The brown sugar has more moisture, and that molasses flavor, which when combined with white sugar creates the chewiest bite at the cookie’s center.These Oatmeal Raisin Cookies are super soft, thick, and loaded with oats and raisins. When creamed with the butter the white sugar adds crunch to the outside of the cookie as it caramelizes super fast. You can find this technique in play in my Best-Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies, too. What gives these cookies their extra chew, besides the obvious rolled oats and raisins, is the combination of white and brown sugar. The combination of these two ingredients not only gives these chewy cookies their signature flavor but bumps these oatmeal raisin cookies into health ier territory.

Sweet raisins, instead of chocolate chips, means no extra added sugar or fats.

Oats are full of healthy fiber and keep you fuller longer. Oats are one of my favorite ways of getting in some stick-to-your-ribs nutrition. These cookies have an added bonus: My Best-Ever Oatmeal Cookies are packed with a cup and a half of oats and only 3/4 cup of flour. All of these components create irresistibly chewy oatmeal raisin cookies. The oats and raisins are crunchy and chewy while the brown and white sugar adds depth of flavor. This one-bowl-wonder perfectly balances flavor and texture, which is really what makes it the Best-Ever Oatmeal Cookies. I add the flour and cinnamon mixture to the fluffy butter and sugar then fold in the oats and raisins. Then, I cream together butter, brown sugar, and white sugar.

To make these cookies I combine flour and cinnamon, which give the cookie a lovely hint of warmth and spice. Some people like chocolate chips in their oatmeal cookies and some like raisins - this recipe is for the latter, but you can easily swap one for the other if you want! Also, maybe give dried cranberries a shot for an extra punch of tartness. Don’t use steel-cut, though, stick with rolled oats, and you’ll get the right texture you’re looking for. I don’t know about you, but oats are a staple in my cupboard - I use them for everything from homemade oatmeal to my Best-Ever Banana Bread. I don’t know of a better, or more satisfying, cookie! If you’ve ever tried my other Best-Ever recipes, like my Best-Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies, my Best-Ever Brownies, or my Best-Ever Vanilla Mug Cake - you know that I don’t take the title of “Best-Ever” lightly.Ĭan also even be made in one bowl (if you wish!) by hand and baked in only 10 minutes, these cookies aren’t just my Best-Ever Oatmeal Cookies because of the flavor, but also because of the ease. My Best-Ever Oatmeal Cookies recipe makes the tastiest oatmeal cookies, featuring toasty rolled oats, chewy plump raisins, and a sweet cinnamony center. No cookie you can buy at the store compares to the flavor and chewy texture of a warm homemade Oatmeal cookie.
