Classic Soft and Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies that will melt in your mouth and has tons of flavor!
Who would have thought that National Oatmeal Cookie Day and Nation Raisin Day would fall on the same day. So why not combine the two and make Oatmeal Raisin Cookies.
Some people despise oatmeal raisin cookies. The joke is "Expected a Chocolate Chip Cookie... but it was Oatmeal Raisin". Clearly they haven't tasted a great cookie, until Now! If you're looking for a soft and chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookie that melts in your mouth and has tons of flavor, look no further than this recipe right here! It’s a good Old-Fashioned Oatmeal Cookie with a little cinnamon and raisins in every bite.
I remember as a child, I would look forward to my mom baking because that only meant one thing.... I got to lick the bowl. Nowadays, they don’t let kids do that any more because of the raw eggs. What a shame! But Shhh! I secretly still get a swipe of the finger in the empty mixing bowl from time to time.
To make these cookies, you’ll cream together a stick of unsalted butter with some brown sugar and granulated sugar. By using a bit more brown sugar than granulated sugar, it adds more flavor, moisture, and creates a chewy cookie. You’ll also mix in some of the usual ingredients like an egg, vanilla, flour, baking soda, and some salt. I also love mixing in some ground cinnamon into the batter because it adds an extra warm, bold yet sweet flavor to the cookies.
This recipe can easily be double to make some extra to share. Trust me, after the first bite, you'll want to keep them all to yourself. So grab yourself a plate and a tall glass of cold milk and enjoy!
