Best-Ever Oatmeal Cookies Recipe
Description
The Best-Ever Oatmeal Cookies Recipe brings together simple pantry ingredients like rolled oats, raisins, and warm cinnamon to yield cookies with a chewy and tender bite. The combination of butter, both granulated and light brown sugars, and a single egg creates a creamy dough rich in flavor. Baking at 375°F for around 9-10 minutes develops golden edges while preserving a gooey center that enhances the texture.
The method focuses on mixing dry ingredients separately before folding them gently into the creamed butter and sugars, followed by oats and raisins. This technique avoids overmixing and maintains the cookies’ softness. The result is a cookie with a subtle chew from the oats and bursts of sweetness from the raisins.
These cookies are easy to store and enjoy over a few days as they remain soft. Additionally, the dough can be portioned into balls and frozen for up to three months; simply thaw and bake fresh cookies when desired, making this a convenient option for baking on demand.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup (3 ¾ oz/105 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (4 oz/115 g) butter room temperature
- ½ cup (4 oz/115 g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (3 oz/85 g) light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups (4 ½ oz/128 g) rolled oats
- ⅔ cup (3 ⅓oz/94 g) raisins
Notes
- Freeze scooped dough balls for up to 3 months to bake fresh cookies anytime.
- Do not overbake; watch for golden edges and slightly risen centers for gooey texture.
- Use an egg substitute if avoiding eggs, referring to a specific egg substitute guide for cookies.
