Oatmeal Raisin Cookies Recipe
Oatmeal Raisin Cookies combine softened butter and brown sugar creamed together with eggs and vanilla to form a sweet dough enriched with old-fashioned oats and plump raisins. The dough is chilled before baking moderate-sized cookies that are lightly browned and soft inside. The oats give a hearty texture while cinnamon adds a warm spice note. These cookies bake for about 12 minutes, resulting in tender centers and gentle crisp edges.
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter softened, salted
- 1 cup brown sugar light; firmly packed
- 1 egg large
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup raisins
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and brown sugar at medium speed until fluffy (about 3-4 minutes), scraping the sides of the bowl periodically. Add egg and vanilla extract; beat well.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- While the mixer is on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture just until combined. Fold in the oats and raisins. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper.
- Using a 4-teaspoon spring-loaded scoop, drop dough onto prepared pans. Place the cookie dough about 2 inches apart.
- Bake until cookies are lightly browned, but still slightly soft (about 12 minutes). Let cool on pans for 3 minutes. Remove from pans and let cool completely on wire racks.
