Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and oats with melted butter, brown and white sugars, vanilla, eggs, raisins, and optional nuts. Baking results in chewy cookies with tender centers and browned edges. Using parchment paper improves texture and baking performance. Measuring flour properly prevents dense cookies.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • ¾ cup butter melted (1½ sticks, unsalted
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Your cookies turn out so much better with parchment paper. Believe me! Buy some!
  2. Melt butter and let cool slightly.
  3. Mix flour, baking soda and salt; set aside. (See Note on the proper way to measure flour)
  4. In a medium bowl, cream together the melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar until well blended. Beat in the cinnamon, vanilla, egg, and egg yolk for 2-3 minutes until light and creamy. Mix in the flour mixture until just blended. Add the oats, nuts, and raisins. Mix until just blended.
  5. Place 1/4 cup balls of dough onto parchment lined cookie sheet and bake for 14-16 minutes. Do not overbake. You can also do smaller cookies just bake for less time. Remember I'm at sea level so if you aren't you may need longer. The edges should look brown and the centers still slightly soft. Let the cookies rest on the cookie sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper on cookie sheets for better baking results.
  • Spoon flour into measuring cups without packing to maintain cookie texture.
