Don’t make these…..unless you want to stub your toe on the end table trying to sneak in the kitchen in the middle of the night to grab one. These little cookies are so good I can’t even begin to explain! 🤤

[arsildarouiche]

1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup golden raisins
1 cup hot water
3/4 cup (170 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature (1 1/2 sticks)
1 cup (200 grams) packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup (100 grams) all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg
3 cups (270 grams) old-fashioned rolled oats

DIRECTIONS

Heat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Add raisins to a small bowl then cover with hot water. The hot water helps the raisins to become plump and juicy. Set the bowl aside for about 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, beat the room temperature butter and sugar with a hand blender until creamy, about 2 minutes. (You can also use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment). Add the egg and 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract then beat until combined, about 1 minute.
In another bowl, use a whisk to combine the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Next, add the oats then stir until well combined. Add the oat mixture to the butter and sugar mixture in thirds, beating after each addition until incorporated.
Drain the raisins then gently press down or squeeze them to remove any extra water. Stir them into the cookie batter. (Use a spatula or spoon for this, not the mixer).

BAKE COOKIES

Drop dough by two tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto baking sheets. (You can also use a large cookie scoop for this). Then, wet the tips of your fingers with water and gently press cookies down until they are about 1/2-inch thick. If some of the cookies have no raisins showing on top, steal a few raisins from the bowl and add to the tops of the cookies (they are prettier this way).
Bake cookies 10 to 15 minutes or until the edges are light golden brown, the center is still soft. Cool cookies on baking sheet for 10 minutes then move to a cooling rack and cool completely.

Who else is here during quarantine feeling for cookies??

I have been using this recipe for the last 8 years and I’ll be using it forever!!!

I got a sudden craving for oatmeal raisin cookies earlier today and decided to try out this recipe, and you guys did not disappoint. They are chewy and lightly crisp and perfect. I split the dough in half and replaced the raisins in one half with zested orange peel and cranberries and they are giving me all the Christmas Spirit I could ask for. Thank you for the recipe!

I add 1 tsp of liquid molasses to bring out the oatmeal flavor your cookies looked tasty thks 4 sharing!

I got soooo excited to make these cookies just to find out I don’t have brown sugar. Nor do I have molasses to make it from scratch with white sugar. And it’s nighttime so leaving my house isn’t feasible. I thought about just using white sugar in place of brown sugar, but I decided if I’m gonna do this, I’m gonna do it right! I’ll just have to make it tomorrow. Kind of a bummer, but I’m excited for tomorrow!


Update: I bought brown sugar and made them. My whole family loved them so I made more the next day with double the original recipe. They’re addictive!

[phoenixgordon]

i literally just made these cookies and omg, they're gooooddd! Like this is the best recipe i've found for these kinds of cookies.

21 and first time baking SWEETS! I have you two's recipes. I was so scared that it might go wrong because I didn't follow the instructions at all (well... except the measurements of the ingredients) and they still came out GREAT!! I'm going to use this recipe from now on out!! Lowkey glad Youtube recommended you two!

[rosie]

I just made them and, oh my goodness, they are so good! I don't like raisins so skip that part haha

[lindadiehl]

Thanks for posting this quick, easy and delicious recipe! I felt like I needed a little something extra after pizza, and I made these cookies on a whim while enjoying a six-pack of Budweiser. Didn't expect much, but the final cookies were GREAT! Made without raisins (didn't have any, so had to add just a sprinkle of water towards the end), and without nutmeg, so used cloves, which I love. Just having the recipe and the encouragement to go for it made my evening. Some people may think what you did is minor, but the Bud was truly minor and the dessert after pizza made the whole evening perfect. Thank you!

[beadydani]

Wow, this is the best recipe I have found. I made similar cookies from another site yesterday it turned out 'Cakey', after watching this video I realise it was to do with the fact that there was more flour than oats! Thanks for sharing I will definitely use your recipe.

[lizcczda]

Holy Smokes!!! I just made the cookies, BEST OATMEAL COOKIES EVER! Thank you for sharing your recipe!

[freedeagle]

This was my first time making oatmeal cookies and I tried this recipe. The cookies came out so delicious. Great recipe! Thanks

[seukfuhi]

Compared to many other cooking vids on Youtube, yours are really well-edited, which makes them really easy to follow and pleasant to watch. Keep up the good work !

One way to make sure it stays soft...even after 1 day is to add a pinch of Corn starch. I have had alot of success with this method.

We are in Australia, and my family love oatmeal and raisin cookies. She said they were like the expensive ones she buys. She said you only get about 6 cookies and they are expensive. As soon as she walked in and took a cookie, she said, new recipe. I said yes, and she said to keep making this recipe.

[AmbivertWife]

OMG! This is the best cookie ever. HEALTHY AND YUMMY. I removed the raisins and added a pinch of salt. Was able to make 15pcs of oatmeal cookies by flattening 1/4 cup of the dough.

I will make this again using cranberries. 😇😇😇
