Oatmeal Raisin Cookies | Easy recipe for soft, chewy and delicious cookies

Hey y'all! Today on Baking with Brandon we're making oatmeal raisin cookies! Even if you're not a fan of raisins, this recipe will absolutely become your favorite for soft, chewy, and delicious cookies!

Oatmeal raisin cookies

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
¼ cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups flour
1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
3 cups rolled oats (do NOT use instant)
1 cup raisins

Process

1) In a medium bowl whisk together all of the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ground ginger, and salt. Set dry ingredients aside.

2) In a separate bowl or in the bowl of a standing mixer cream together the room temperature butter and sugars until smooth. If using a standing mixer, use the paddle attachment and mix on medium speed.

3) Add the vanilla and eggs to the creamed mix.

4) Scrape the sides of the bowl down and continue to mix until everything is combined.

5) Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the bowl with the creamed mix. I typically add the dry mix, ⅓ at a time, letting the dry ingredients incorporate well before adding more.

6) After all of the dry ingredients have been added, add in the oats and raisins, mixing at low speed.

7) Cover the cookie dough in the mixing bowl and place in the fridge for 30-60 minutes.

8) Preheat the oven to 375 F, line baking sheets with parchment paper.

9) Use an ice cream scoop (2 tablespoons) to scoop out cookie dough into uniform balls and place on the lined baking sheet leaving at least an inch between balls.

10) Bake for 13 minutes or until cookies are slightly golden - light brown on the edges.

This recipe is exceptionally good. My husband would NEVER eat an oatmeal raisin cookie, EVER! His favorite was always chocolate chip. He actually told me this cookie is his new favorite, even over chocolate chip! That is HUGE! Definitely added to my essential recipe file😀

Oatmeal raisin cookies are awesome ! Don't have a clue why there is a bias against them. As long as they are soft not crunchy they are yummy !
