Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies combine buttery dough with spices and oatmeal for a chewy texture, dotted with sweet raisinets. The use of pumpkin pie spice adds warm aromatic flavors beyond cinnamon alone. Baking at 350°F until golden results in a cookie with crisp edges and a tender center. These cookies offer a comforting balance of sugary sweetness and wholesome oats.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter room temperature, unsalted
  • 1 cup light brown sugar packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 egg room temperature, large
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract pure
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice homemade
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 ½ cups raisinets

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with an electric mixer, cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add in eggs and vanilla and mix until combined.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice and salt. Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in oats and Raisinets and mix until incorporated.
  4. Use a medium cookie scoop (about 1 1/2 tablespoons) to drop dough onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake in preheated oven for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown. Allow cookies to sit on cookie sheets for about 5 minutes before removing them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days to maintain freshness.
  • Raisinets can be substituted with raisins, dried cranberries, or chocolate chips for variation.
  • Softening butter to room temperature is important for proper creaming and texture.
  • Brown sugar can be substituted with a homemade version if needed.
