SOFT CHEWY OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES



Soft Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies image

This is a very old recipe I got from a friend and have been baking them for years (and one of my favorite comfort foods!) The bigger the spoons of dough, the bigger the cookie, the less yield specified. Bake a bit longer if you want big cookies!

Provided by green_sleeves

Categories     Dessert

Time 42m

Yield 24 cookies, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon water
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 eggs, well beaten
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup raisins (soak in hot water for 15 minutes, squeeze out water)

Steps:

  • Cream first 4 ingredients, add the premixed dry ingredients. Add the beaten eggs one at a time, rolled oats and raisins last. Roll in balls and flatten a bit or drop by spoonfuls onto parchment lined baking sheets. Bake @375 for 12 minutes.
  • I always soak my raisins when making cookies. This way the don't take any moisture from the batter. Soak them for 15 minutes in the hottest tap water possible, drain the excess.
  • I noticed someone had trouble getting these out of a pan? These are cookies, not bars, so bake as directed on parchment paper if they stick -- I just use good quality non stick pans and never use Pam or any lubrication.

CHEWY OATMEAL COOKIES



Chewy Oatmeal Cookies image

These cookies will remedy whatever kind of bad day you have had. They're the cookies you eat when you forgot a homework assignment, when your coworkers call in sick on a snow day, or when you're exhausted after moving all your stuff to a new apartment. They're craveable as well as comforting. They also make a great blank canvas: You can add up to 1 1/2 cups of inclusions -- some of my favorites are chocolate chunks, dried fruit, coarsely chopped nuts, and/or candied ginger.

Provided by Erin Jeanne McDowell

Categories     dessert

Time 50m

Yield Makes 18 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

227 grams (8 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature
213 grams (1 cup) packed brown sugar
66 grams (1/3 cup) granulated sugar
113 grams (2 large) eggs
5 grams (1 teaspoon) vanilla extract
210 grams (1 3/4 cups) all-purpose flour
6 grams (1 teaspoon) baking soda
2 grams (1/2 teaspoon) baking powder
4 grams (1 teaspoon) fine sea salt
2 grams (1 teaspoon) ground cinnamon
199 grams (2 cups) old-fashioned oats

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), with racks in the upper and lower thirds. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large bowl, using a hand mixer), cream the butter and sugars on medium-low speed until light and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on medium speed until each one is fully incorporated. Add the vanilla and mix to combine. Scrape the bowl well.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Add to the butter mixture and mix on low speed just until incorporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the oats and mix on low speed to combine, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Scrape the bowl well.
  • Use a No. 16 (1/4-cup) scoop to portion the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets --stagger the cookies, leaving 1 1/2 inches between them to allow for spreading.
  • Bake the cookies, rotating the sheets from front to back and top to bottom at the halfway mark, until evenly golden brown, 14 to 16 minutes. Transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool.

Tips:

  • Use old-fashioned rolled oats. These oats will give your cookies a chewy texture.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make your cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just golden brown. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

These chewy oatmeal cookies are the perfect treat for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. You can add raisins, nuts, or chocolate chips to the dough, or you can frost them with your favorite frosting. No matter how you choose to make them, these cookies are sure to be a hit.
