Easy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies Recipe
Description
The cookie dough combines creamed butter or applesauce with brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, and honey before folding in a blend of flour, baking soda, and cinnamon. Rolled oats and raisins are stirred in last, providing chewiness and fruity contrast. The dough is scooped onto baking sheets spaced evenly to allow spreading.
Baked at 350°F, the cookies develop a golden exterior and tender center. Once cooled on wire racks, they hold their texture well. The balance of spices, oats, and raisins results in a classic cookie profile with no extra garnish needed.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter or apple sauce
- 1 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 2 egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 1/2 cup flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 3 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup raisins
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Using an electric mixer, cream the butter or applesauce together with brown sugar until smooth. Whisk in the eggs, vanilla extract, and honey.
- Sift the flour, baking soda, and cinnamon into the wet ingredients, using a spatula to incorporate the dry ingredients as you go. Finally, stir in the rolled oats and the raisins.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, assemble similar-sized round portions of dough about 1-inch apart on a lined baking sheet.
- Bake them for 10 to 15 minutes, or until cookies turn golden brown. Remove cookies from baking sheets and allow them to cool on wire rack. Enjoy!
