Boiling water
1/2 cup raisins

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.

Categories     dessert

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.

HONEY WHOLE WHEAT OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES RECIPE



Honey Whole Wheat Oatmeal Raisin Cookies Recipe image

Give me all the Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. I love how simple and delicious they are, but these are also healthy, making them feel guilt free.

Provided by Camille Beckstrand

Categories     Dessert

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups whole wheat flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ cup butter (melted)
½ cup coconut oil (melted)
2 large eggs
⅞ cup honey
1½ Tablespoons molasses
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
3 Tablespoons milk
3 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup raisins

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 320 degrees F. Lightly spray cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray or use a baking liner. Set sheet aside.
  • In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda. Add in butter, oil, eggs, honey, molasses, vanilla, and milk and stir until all combined.
  • Fold in oats and raisins.
  • Drop heaping tablespoonfuls (these cookies work best if they are a little bit bigger . . . I found that if they are smaller, they burn easily) onto prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes or until cookies are slightly golden. Keep in mind that honey bakes faster than sugar, which is why you cook these at a lower temperature that most cookies. Be sure to not overcook them or they will be crispy (unless you like cookies that way!).

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.

3 eggs, well beaten
1 cup raisins
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups oatmeal
3/4 cup chopped pecans

  • Cream together butter and sugars.
  • Add flour, salt, cinnamon and soda and mix well.
  • Blend in egg-raisin mixture, oatmeal, and chopped nuts.
  • Dough will be stiff.
  • Drop by heaping teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheet, or roll into balls and flatten slightly.
