BEST OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES



Best Oatmeal Raisin Cookies image

This is a family favorite that I have been making for years. It's the most requested oatmeal cookie recipe I've ever made. I found it somewhere years ago, but have lost the source. The secret is soaking the raisins which makes all the difference.

Time 1h25m

Yield 2 Dozen, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup water
1 cup raisins
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup Crisco shortening
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups quick-cooking oatmeal (not instant)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Whisk eggs in a small bowl, add 1/4 cup water, 1 tsp vanilla and raisins; mix well. VERY IMPORTANT let set on counter for at least 1 hour.
  • In another bowl, combine crisco, and sugars, mix well.
  • Gradually add dry ingredients.
  • Blend in raisin mixture -- mix well.
  • I use a cookie scoop, slightly less than 1/4 cup and place them on a greased cookie sheet. I slightly flatten them with the back of the scoop.
  • Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes. Do not flatten cookies a lot -- just a gentle tap.other wise they will flatten out too much.
  • Baking note: please remember to reverse position of cookie sheets halfway through baking. DO NOT OVER BAKE. Cookies should be slightly golden brown around edges. Centers will look set-- let cool 1 minute on cookie sheet and then remove to wire rack to complete cool.
  • I have used this recipe for over 30 years-- always outstanding-- most important thing to remove cookies from oven before they are finished-- residual heat in cookies will complete cooking-- and result in a cookie that is not dried out.
  • I also add more walnuts, as I like lots of big nuts in my oatmeal cookies-- I have often left the egg, raisin mixture on counter, for a couple of hours while cleaning house and came back and baked marvelous cookies.

Time 40m

Yield 1 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 cups rolled oats
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons molasses
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup raisins

Steps:

  • Combine the oats, flour, cinnamon, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Beat the butter, sugar and molasses in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla until smooth, about 2 more minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low, add the flour mixture and beat until combined. Stir in the raisins by hand. For the best flavor and texture, cover the dough and chill at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Form the dough into 12 balls, about 2 tablespoonfuls each, and arrange 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Flatten with the back of a fork. Bake until the cookies are golden, 15 to 17 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.

THE BEST OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES



The Best Oatmeal Raisin Cookies image

Do you like chewy cookies? Or do you prefer cakey ones? Our oatmeal-raisin cookies can be both! For a chewy cookie, bake them right away. For a cakey cookie, let the dough rest in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours (or overnight works even better) to allow the oatmeal to hydrate. Then bake for a puffy cookie. We used dark brown sugar for added flavor and moisture but our secret ingredient is honey. When baked right away, the honey causes the cookie to spread, keeping it soft and moist. When you let the dough rest, the oatmeal and flour absorb the honey for that classic cakey texture.

Time 1h30m

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg, at room temperature
2 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup raisins

Steps:

  • Arrange an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda and cinnamon in a small bowl until combined. Beat the brown sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the honey, vanilla, egg and 1 tablespoon warm water and beat on high speed until creamy, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl, about 3 minutes more. Add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed, scraping the bowl as needed, until completely combined. Add the oats and beat on low speed until combined. Fold in the raisins until evenly distributed. Arrange twelve 1-ounce scoops (2-tablespoon portions) of cookie dough on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each. Bake until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool on the sheet for 10 minutes, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Let the baking sheet cool, and then repeat with the remaining cookie dough.

THE BEST OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES EVER



The Best Oatmeal Raisin Cookies Ever image

My husband put in a specific request for oatmeal raisin cookies. He wanted them to be "thinner, but soft." On my search for the best Oatmeal Raisin Cookies, I came across this one at http://journeytocrunchville.wordpress.com/ Just the perfect amount of crispness on the outside, and chewy on the inside. I've tried different...

Categories     Cookies

Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 eggs, well beaten
1 Tbsp (yes, tablespoon) vanilla
1 c raisins or craisins
1 c butter, room temp
1 c brown sugar
3/4 c white sugar
1 1/2 c flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp nutmeg
3 c oatmeal (quick cooking or old fashioned, not instant)
1/2 c chocolate, cinnamon, white chocolate or butterscotch chips (optional)
1/2 c chopped nuts (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. 1-2 hours before -- The key is to soak the raisins. This makes all the difference in the world. Beat eggs and vanilla together and then add the raisins, stir. Soak for an hour or two. Stir periodically.
  • 2. Preheat oven to 350.
  • 3. Cream butter and sugars with mixer.
  • 4. In a separate bowl combine flour, salt, baking soda, cinammon, ginger & nutmeg. Stir the dry ingredients until well blended.
  • 5. Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture and mix well.
  • 6. Add in the egg & raisin mixture (I used my hands).
  • 7. Add in the oatmeal and chocolate chips/nuts and combine well. *Note* whenever I use craisins instead, I don't add the optional chips or nuts, but feel free to experiment!
  • 8. Form into balls on a lightly greased cookie sheet (I just lined mine with parchment paper). Bake 10-13 minutes until JUST turning golden brown on the edges. (Mine took 10 min on regular pans, 12 min on air bake pans)
  • 9. Let cool on cookie sheet for 2-5 minutes or until firm enough to transfer to wire rack. Makes 2 1/2 dozen large cookies. I used a cookie scoop for smaller cookies, and it made exactly 56 cookies (just over 4 1/2 dozen)
