Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Mixture

In a mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and both types of sugar together until you achieve a light and fluffy consistency. This should take about 3-5 minutes.

Gradually add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mix, ensuring everything is well incorporated.

Step 2

Combine the Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. This helps to evenly distribute the leavening agents.

Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet mixture while mixing at low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 3

Final Ingredients

Gently fold in the rolled oats and raisins until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 4

Shape and Bake

On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough, ensuring to leave enough space between each cookie to allow for spreading.

Bake in a preheated oven at 140°C (284°F) for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set.

Step 5

Cool and Serve

Once baked, allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Cut the cookies into squares, diamonds, or triangles as desired. Enjoy them with a cup of fresh coffee or a glass of milk!

Servings

Once these delightful oatmeal raisin cookies are out of the oven, let the aroma fill your home! Serve them warm, and watch everyone gather around for a taste. Pair with a hot cup of coffee☕ for adults, as the rich, caramel notes from the brown sugar complement the caffeine perfectly. For the kiddos, serve alongside a glass of cold milk🥛 for a nostalgic treat they’ll love. Feel free to add a sprinkle of cinnamon on top for an extra touch of warmth, or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream 🍨 for an indulgent dessert!

Perfect for party platters, these cookies can be cut into fun shapes like squares, diamonds, or triangles. They're great for sharing during family gatherings or cozy autumn get-togethers. Remember to keep some wrapped up for those late-night snacking sessions! 🥰

Variations

Want to switch things up? Here are some exciting variations you can try! For a gluten-free version, simply substitute the flour with almond flour or a gluten-free flour blend✨. Just make sure to check that your oats are certified gluten-free!

If you’re looking for a vegan option🌱, replace the butter with a non-dairy alternative like coconut oil and swap the eggs for flax eggs (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons of water gives you one egg equivalent). This way, everyone can enjoy the magic of these tasty cookies without any animal products!

Faq

  • What if my cookies spread too much while baking?

    Ensure that your butter isn't too warm when mixed, and consider chilling the dough for about 30 minutes before baking.

  • How can I make my cookies chewier?

    Try increasing the amount of brown sugar, as it adds moisture and leads to chewier cookies.

  • What can I substitute for raisins?

    You can use chocolate chips, dried cranberries, or chopped nuts for a different flavor in each bite!

  • Can I double the recipe?

    Absolutely! This recipe is great for dividing into two batches—save one for later or share the joy!

  • How do I know when my cookies are done?

    They should be golden around the edges but still soft in the middle. They'll firm up as they cool!

  • What’s the best way to store leftover cookies?

    Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. They can also be frozen for longer storage!
