Time 37m

Yield 24 very large cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups butter, room temperature (3 sticks)
1 1/3 cups sugar (10 1/2 ounces)
1 1/3 cups light brown sugar (10 1/2 ounces)
3 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups old fashioned oats
2 cups flour, and
2 tablespoons flour (8 1/2 ounces total)
3/4 cup wheat germ
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups golden raisins (1/2 pound)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. With the mixer running, add the eggs, one at a time, until each is incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the oats, flour, wheat germ, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
  • With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients until just combined. Gently fold in the raisins.
  • Line several baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop one-fourth cup dough for each cookie and slightly flatten them, leaving 2 inches between each cookie (they will spread). Slightly flatten the top of each cookie and bake one tray at a time, on the center rack, for consistent baking and coloring. The cookies will be done when set and lightly colored and the edges are slightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes.

AMERICAN KITCHEN CLASSIC OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES

The oatmeal raisin cookie has an international origin. Oatmeal cookies are the descendants of oat cakes made by the Scots and the British. Oat cakes first appeared when the Scottish began harvesting oats as far back as 1,000 B.C. History records that raisins and nuts had been added to the cakes since the Middle Ages. The first recorded oatmeal raisin cookie recipe was written by Fannie Farmer in 1896. Billed as a "health food," the cookies quickly became popular, and by early 1900's a recipe for the delicious treats appeared on every container of Quaker Oats.
