Oatmeal Raisin Cookie (Soft & Chewy) image

Recipe video above. If you love your oatmeal cookies soft and chewy, this is THE Oatmeal Raisin Cookie recipe for you! Crispy on the edges, buttery with the faintest waft of cinnamon and studded with plump juicy raisins, these keep really well and smell heavenly when they're in the oven.This is a Cook's Illustrated recipe and they found the key to achieving this are: a) the size (these are larger than usual) and b) using baking powder, not baking soda.

Categories     Cookie

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups raisins ((Note 1))
1 1/2 cups flour (all purpose / plain)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon powder
250g / 8 oz (2 sticks) unsalted butter (, at room temperature (Note 2))
1 cup brown sugar ((packed))
1 cup white sugar ((granulated. Superfine/caster also ok))
2 large eggs (, at room temperature (Note 3))
3 cups rolled oats ((Note 4))

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan). Adjust oven racks to middle and low position, ensuring you have 4"/10cm between each rack. Line 2 trays with parchment/baking paper.
  • Optional: Soak raisins in boiled water for 10 minutes. Drain then pat dry. (This makes them plumper).
  • Sift dry ingredients: Sift flour, salt, baking powder and cinnamon into a bowl.
  • Cream butter and sugar: Using a stand mixer or electric mixer, beat butter until creamy. Then beat in sugar until fluffy - about 2 - 3 minutes.
  • Add eggs: Beat in eggs one at a time until incorporated.
  • Mix in flour: Use a wooden spoon to stir the flour mixture in.
  • Stir in oats and raisins: Stir in oats and raisins - this requires a bit of effort as the dough gets firm!
  • Roll and flatten balls: Form 4cm / 1.6" balls (~18) and place onto baking trays 4"/10cm apart. I use an ice cream scoop. Then press down to slighty flatten into a thick disc shape.
  • Bake for 11 minutes. Then swap the trays between the shelves AND turn the trays around. Bake for a further 11 - 14 minutes, or until cookies are golden on the edges and LIGHT golden on the surface.
  • Cool on the trays for 5 minutes before transferring to cooling rack. Cool for 30 minutes before serving.

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.

For the perfect winner to fill up your cookie jar, bake these got-it-all oatmeal cookies loaded with raisins and nuts. While there is no shortage of oatmeal cookie recipes out there, we love these in particular because they strike the perfect balance of crispiness and chewiness. The ratio of ingredients used turns out a cookie that isn't tall and cakey, but instead a little slender and nicely caramelized around the edges.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of oats. You can use old-fashioned oats, quick-cooking oats, or even steel-cut oats. But keep in mind that the type of oats you use will affect the texture of your cookies.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make your cookies tough. Just mix the dough until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Use a cookie scoop to drop the dough onto the baking sheet. This will help you get evenly sized cookies.
  • Bake the cookies until they are golden brown around the edges. But be careful not to overbake them, or they will be dry and crumbly.

Conclusion:

Oatmeal raisin cookies are a classic for a reason. They're delicious, easy to make, and can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
