Chewy Oatmeal-Raisin Cookies image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 1 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 cups rolled oats
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons molasses
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup raisins

Steps:

  • Combine the oats, flour, cinnamon, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Beat the butter, sugar and molasses in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla until smooth, about 2 more minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low, add the flour mixture and beat until combined. Stir in the raisins by hand. For the best flavor and texture, cover the dough and chill at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Form the dough into 12 balls, about 2 tablespoonfuls each, and arrange 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Flatten with the back of a fork. Bake until the cookies are golden, 15 to 17 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.

SOFT & CHEWY OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES - GLUTEN FREE



Soft & Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies - Gluten Free image

A recipe from www.celiac.com that I have altered slightly. If your flour mix does not include xanthan gum, add 1 T of ground flax seed (although you may add it anyway as the outcome of the recipe won't be affected). It is also very important to chill the dough before you bake them - they won't spread as much. NOTE; If you are making this recipe as a non-gluten free recipe using regular all-purpose flour, do not use quick oats as the recipe was made with regular long cooking oats.

THICK, CHEWY OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES



Thick, Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies image

This recipe makes a cookies with a crisp edge but the center is thick and chewy. It's based on the Quaker Oats recipe which I find it too sweet, so Iuse less sugar. It never has enough raisins in it, so add more. I use only brown sugar (instead of a mix of brown and white). And sometimes, I add chopped walnuts. The trick to getting a really thick, chewy cookie is to chill the dough before you bake it. You can scoop it and then chill it, or, if you're like us, scoop it, freeze them and store them in a freezer bag so you can bake them as you wish. I find they're always thicker when baked from the cold - only a couple extra minutes baking is needed.

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 21m

Yield 24 Cookies, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup butter, softened (1 stick)
2/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
3/4 cup raisins
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, egg and vanilla until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt together. Stir this into the butter/sugar mixture. Stir in the oats, raisins and walnuts, if using them.
  • At this point you can either chill the dough for a bit in the fridge and then scoop it, or scoop the cookies onto a sheet and then chill the whole tray before baking them. You could also bake them right away, if you're impatient, but I do find that they end up slighly less thick.
  • The cookies should be two inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake them for 10 to 12 minutes (your baking time will vary, depending on your oven and how cold the cookies were going in), taking them out when golden at the edges but still a little undercooked-looking on top. Let them sit on the hot baking sheet for five minutes before transferring them to a rack to cool.

HEALTHY CHEWY OATMEAL, RAISIN, PECAN COOKIES



Healthy Chewy Oatmeal, Raisin, Pecan Cookies image

This is a healthy low-calorie version of my original recipe. This recipe uses lower calorie ingredients such as Splenda Sweetener, Splenda Brown Sugar, and wheat flower. These cookies are plump, chewy, and full of crunchy pecans and raisins. The honey really sets if off with a unique taste. Once you make these cookies with the honey in them, you will never want to make oatmeal cookies without honey ever again! And it can be easily altered to your liking by changing the add-ins from raisins & pecans, to just about anything you want (walnuts, dates, dried cranberries, etc).

SOFT & CHEWY OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES
These oatmeal raisin cookies are the perfect blend of chewy and soft, buttery and cinnamon-spiced, brown sugar sweetened with a hint of molasses flavor. They're amazing warm from the oven with a cup of coffee or glass of milk. I love them crumbled over vanilla ice cream, too!
Yield: 2 dozen
prep time: 45 MINUTES (INCLUDES CHILLING) total time: 1 HOUR
Ingredients:
1 cup (230g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1 cup (200g) light or dark brown sugar
1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
2 large eggs*
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract (yes, Tablespoon!)
1 Tablespoon molasses
1 and 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups (240g) old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup (140g) raisins*
1/2 cup (64g) chopped toasted walnuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Directions: Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream the softened butter and both sugars together on medium speed until smooth. Add the egg and mix on high until combined, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Add the vanilla and molasses and mix on high until combined. Set aside. In a separate bowl, toss the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together. Add to the wet ingredients and mix on low until combined. Beat in the oats, raisins, and walnuts (if using) on low speed. Dough will be thick, yet very sticky. Chill the dough for 30-60 minutes in the refrigerator (do the full hour if you're afraid of the cookies spreading too much). If chilling for longer (up to 2 days), allow to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before rolling and baking. Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Roll balls of dough (about 1.5 tablespoons of dough per cookie) and place 2 inches apart on the baking sheets. Bake for 10 minutes until very lightly browned on the sides. The centers will look very soft and undone. Remove from the oven and let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. The cookies will continue to "set" on the baking sheet during this time. Cover cookies and store at room temperature for up to 1 week. Baked cookies and rolled cookie dough freeze well, up to 3 months. *Room temperature eggs preferred. Good rule of thumb: always use room temperature eggs when using room temperature butter. *Soak your raisins in warm water for 10 minutes before using (blot very well to dry them) - this makes them nice and plump for your cookies. OR even try them with Raisinets!

Another delicious find watching Cook Yourself Thin. These lil gems have 116 calories each....MUCH better than your run of the mill cookies. :) Parchment paper is a great baking trick without any added calories that cooking sprays sometimes add. :) **Baking time is 17-20 minutes depending on the size of your cookies and your oven. ENJOY!! **As noticed by a reviewer, I failed to catch that the original recipe didnt mention when to add the raisins. Hopefully this is corrected satisfactorily -- I had to go watch the episode to see what they did! :) I believe the rum/whiskey should be absorbed by the raisins. If there is residual it is certainly at your discretion what to do with it - I would add it as it would lend to the flavor and only be a small amount. This is what it appeared they did, but was not clearly stated. :)

  • (I made mine bigger, so whatever size you make them, just bake them until they look as directed by Nick.).
  • Storage: Once cool, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.

Cool cookies on sheets until they are firm enough to move and then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Tips:

- For chewier cookies, use dark brown sugar instead of granulated sugar. - To make the cookies even more flavorful, add a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough. - If you don't have raisins on hand, you can substitute dried cranberries, cherries, or chopped nuts. - Be sure to 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 set around the edges but still soft in the center. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly. - Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving. This will help them firm up and prevent them from sticking to each other.
