Notes
- When it comes to cookies, soft and chewy is what everyone looks for. And to get the ultimate chewiness, you should take care of the moisture content in your batter.
- Yes, oatmeal cookies are super healthy, as oats contain high fiber. Also, I use less flour and more natural ingredients in my oatmeal cookie recipes, so it is definitely a healthy alternative to regular cookies.

- Yes, you can use any kind of oats for making oatmeal cookies. However with this recipe, I prefer whole oats.
- Oatmeal cookies tend to become hard if they are over baked so keep an eye on them. They're done when the edges are hard while the centers are soft.
- To check whether your oatmeal cookies are done, look for the edges to be set. A perfectly baked cookie is one that has firm edges but a soft center.
- In most recipes, you can refrigerate the cookie dough before baking; however, in this particular recipe, you don't have to.
- Make sure the butter you're using is not soft or room temperature to avoid the cookies from spreading.
- A cold egg will also be helpful to keep the batter on the cold side rather than a warm one.
- Having a cold batter will keep the cookies from over spreading in the oven while baking.
- After beating the butter, sugar, egg and flour mix, make sure you switch to a spatula. This will help incorporate the oats and chocolate and raisins together well.
- Use an ice cream scoop to portion the batter into cookies, this will ensure cookies are all even in size and will bake evenly.
- Bake until the edges of the cookies are set but the center will feel still soft. Let the cookies cool in the pan for 10 minutes before enjoying!
- When it comes to cookies, soft and chewy is what everyone looks for. And to get the ultimate chewiness, you should take care of the moisture content in your batter.
- For example, brown sugar is more moister than regular sugar, so adding more of that can make your cookies chewier. Also, using honey, more yolks, and baking powder instead of baking soda can result in soft, chewy cookies and give out more flavor.

- YES! If that's all you have on hand then by all means use the salted butter but don't add the extra salt in the recipe.
- Feel free to use a stand mixer or hand mixer for this recipe, as long as you switch to using a spatula towards the end.

- Be sure to store them in an airtight container at room temperature and they should last for 2 weeks.
- YES! My favorite way to freeze this oatmeal cookie recipe is by scooping the batter into the parchment lined baking sheet and then freezing it. Once frozen then you can place the frozen cookie balls into a ziploc bag and bake as needed. That way you'll have fresh baked oatmeal cookies everyday! Add 3-5 minutes extra of baking time (depending on your cookie size).
