CLASSIC OATMEAL-RAISIN COOKIES



Classic Oatmeal-Raisin Cookies image

Full of nubby oats and plenty of sweet raisins, these lightly spiced cookies are pleasingly chewy in the center and crisp around the edges, with a hint of butterscotch from the dark brown sugar. They keep really well, so you can make them up to a week in advance and store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They're also great for mailing when a package of cookies is in order.

Time 45m

Yield 3 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup/227 grams (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, more for pans
1 cup/200 grams dark brown sugar, packed
1/3 cup/66 grams granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon/15 milliliters vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups/187 grams all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom or ground ginger
3 cups/270 grams rolled oats (not instant)
1 1/2 cups/225 grams raisins

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter two large cookie sheets, or line them with parchment paper or reusable silicone liners.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat butter in a large bowl until creamy. Add brown and granulated sugars, then beat until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Then, beat in vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, use a wooden spoon or spatula to mix together the flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom. Set mixer on low speed, and beat flour mixture into the butter mixture. Stir in oats and raisins.
  • Spoon out dough by large tablespoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheets, leaving at least 2 inches between each cookie.
  • Bake until cookie edges turn golden brown, about 9 to 13 minutes. Centers will still be quite soft, but they will firm up as the cookies cool. Cool completely on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Yield Makes about 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
3 tablespoons milk
2 large eggs
3 cups old-fashioned oats
1 cup raisins

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine butter with both sugars, and beat until light and fluffy. Add vanilla, milk, and eggs, and mix well. Add flour mixture, and beat until just combined. Remove bowl from the electric mixer, and stir in oats and raisins. Place dough in the refrigerator until firm, about 2 hours or overnight.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line several baking sheets with parchment paper, and set aside. Scoop out 2 tablespoons of dough, and shape into a ball; place on one of the prepared sheets. Repeat with remaining dough, spacing balls 3 inches apart. Press down to flatten into 2-inch diameters.
  • Transfer to the oven, and bake until golden but still soft in center, 16 to 18 minutes, rotating the pans between oven shelves halfway through baking. Remove from oven, and place on a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.

Yield 30 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 egg
1/2 c butter
1/2 c brown sugar
1/2 c white sugar
1/2 t vanilla extract
3/4 c flour
1/2 t baking powder
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
1 1/2 c rolled oats
1 T cinnamon
dash of nutmeg
3/4 raisins

Steps:

  • Combine dry ingredients in one bowl: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, oats, and spices. In another bowl, beat egg. Then add butter, sugars, and vanilla, mixing until a creamy texture is achieved. Stir in the dry ingredients, and add the raisins last. From a roll of Saran wrap, tear off a few sheets, roughly square. At the center of each square, place some of the dough. Wrap the plastic around the dough, and form it into a log shape, about 1.5 inches in diameter. One batch makes 3-4 such "logs." Freeze them. To bake the cookies, allow dough logs to freeze at least one hour. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Remove dough logs from freezer, and unwrap the plastic wrap from them. Cut the logs into discs 1/2 inch thick, and place on a greased baking sheet. Bake for 6-8 minutes. Best to remove from the oven while still a little soft; the cookies will continue to cook for a few minutes after removing from the oven. I like them a little soft and chewy, but bake for 7-9 minutes if you like them crunchy

I have searched high and low for the ultimate oatmeal raisin cookie...a little chewy and moist raisins to just melt into a delicious cookie -- not crunchy or cake-like! My search has stopped when I found this one in a King Arthur Flour Cookie Companion cookbook! ENJOY!

Categories     Cookies

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 c butter, softened
1/2 c vegetable shortening
1 c brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 c granulated sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp salt
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 c all purpose flour
3 c old fashioned oats
1/2 c finely shredded carrots
1 c raisins**

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside. In a large bowl, cream butter and shortening for 30 seconds. Add sugars, cinnamon, cloves and salt beating until well mixed. Beat in eggs and vanilla extract. Gradually add flour until combined, stirring in remaining flour if your mixer is having troubles. Stir in oats, carrots and raisins.
  • 2. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls 2" apart on prepared cookie sheets. Bake 7-9 minutes or until tops are golden. Stand on sheets for 1 minute before removing to wire racks to cool completely. Yield: 4 dozen
  • 3. **I like to use Sunmaid Baking Raisins but have a hard time finding them. If you can't find them, rehydrate dried raisins with boiling water and allow to stand 15 minutes. They're not as pretty as the Sunmaid ones but they work the same in the cookie recipe.
