Here’s a classic, chewy oatmeal raisin cookie recipe 🍪—simple and reliable.
Oatmeal Raisin Cookies (makes ~12–14 cookies)
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (115 g) butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (100 g) brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup (95 g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups (135 g) old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup (75 g) raisins
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream butter and both sugars until light and fluffy.
- Beat in egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet mixture.
- Stir in oats and raisins.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden.
- Cool on baking sheet 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Tips
- For extra chewiness: substitute half of the butter with brown sugar only.
- Optional add-ins: chopped walnuts, chocolate chips, or a pinch of nutmeg.
- To make soft cookies, slightly underbake by 1 minute.
