Description
Bake soft, chewy oatmeal raisin cookies using this classic recipe that balances warm spices and natural sweetness from raisins.
Ingredients
Scale
- ¾ cup butter, softened
- ¾ cup white sugar
- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 ¾ cups rolled oats
- 1 cup raisins
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners.
- Beat butter, white sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Beat in eggs and vanilla until fluffy.
- Stir together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually beat this dry mixture into the butter mixture.
- Stir in oats and raisins until just combined.
- Drop teaspoonfuls of batter 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes, switching racks halfway through the baking time.
- Remove cookies from the oven and let them sit on the cookie sheets for 1 to 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- The oats provide structure and chew, and the raisins add natural sweetness.
- Balance the dough to stay soft without becoming dense.
- These cookies pair well with milk or coffee.
