Levain Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Report
Loaded with plump, juicy raisins and warm spice, these Copycat Levain Oatmeal Raisin Cookies are oversized and perfect for sharing. They're a taste of New York without having to go into the city to visit Levain Bakery for the original version and are soft and chewy - just right with a glass of ice-cold milk!

Ingredients
- 1 cup (227g) salted butter cold
- 1 1/4 cups (250g) light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 2 large large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract optional
- 2 3/4 cups (388g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (40g) cornstarch
- 1 1/2 cup (120g) old-fashioned or rolled oats (not instant or quick oats)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 3/4 cup raisins
- 1 cup roughly chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cut the cold butter into cubes, then add to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Add both sugars and beat well for 3-4 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla, then beat again, scraping down the sides of the bowl.
- Add flour, cornstarch, oats, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Mix until combined then stir in raisins and walnuts.
- Divide the dough into 6-ounce mounds (about 9 nine cookies) and space them apart on the baking sheet so they have room to spread when baked.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes until the cookie is barely set and slightly browned on top. Cool for at least 15 minutes on the pan before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
Notes
- These cookies are massive. You could easily make 12 more moderately (but still large) sized cookies. But the Levain Bakery makes their cookies on the huge side, so that's what I was going for.
- Levain doesn't include vanilla or walnuts in their oatmeal raisin cookies, but I love both. You can leave them out if you prefer.
