The Best Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Report
These oatmeal raisin cookies combine rolled oats and soft, plump raisins for a chewy texture and mild sweetness. The dough uses both brown and granulated sugars for balance, along with optional cinnamon for a subtle spice note. Baking until the edges are light golden ensures a tender center that continues to cook slightly after removal from the oven.
Description
The Best Oatmeal Raisin Cookies bring together a mix of softened butter, sugars, eggs, vanilla, and optional cinnamon to form a moist dough enriched with rolled oats and raisins. The flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt create structure while maintaining softness. Baking at 365°F on a light-colored baking sheet for 9-11 minutes produces cookies with a lightly crisp edge and a chewy interior. Cooling on the sheet allows gentle residual baking to finish the texture without over-drying. These cookies are suitable for a snack or dessert and can be balanced with optional cinnamon depending on taste preference.

Ingredients
- 1 cup butter (softened, cut into cubes)
- 1 cup + 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract pure
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, we usually omit it)
- 2 1/4 cups flour
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups raisins (soft and plump)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 365 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter, brown sugar, and sugar for 4 minutes or until light and fluffy. Scrape the sides of the bowl halfway through to ensure even mixing.
- Add eggs and vanilla and mix for 1 minute longer.
- Stir in flour, rolled oats, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Add cinnamon (if using). Fold in raisins.
- Drop onto a light-colored baking sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until edges start to turn a light golden color. Don't overbake. The cookies will continue to bake once you remove them from the oven. I prefer to under-bake rather than over-bake.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes.
