DARK CHOCOLATE RAISINET OATMEAL COOKIES
Chocolate chips + oatmeal cookies are good. Raisins + oatmeal cookies are good. So I thought, how about chocolate-covered raisins in oatmeal cookies? Also good, as it turns out. Really good. Especially when you use the dark chocolate Raisinets, but regular Raisinets do just fine.

THICK OATMEAL RAISINET COOKIES
Steps:
- With an electric or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugars together on medium speed. Add the egg and vanilla, mixing well until combined. On slow speed, mix in the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Manually stir in oats until the dough comes together. Fold in Raisinets. Roll into balls and freeze the balls for about 5 minutes, to get them chilly quickly. Preheat oven to 375F. Bake for 9-10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 3 minutes on the baking sheet. Transfer to a cookie rack. Cookies will be very soft and may not appear to be done, but they will set up in minutes.
OATMEAL 'RAISINET' COOKIES
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl whisk together flour(s), baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Set aside. Use your electric mixer to cream butter and sugars until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time and continue to mix. Add vanilla and mix again. Slowly spoon in four mixture. (If you are using applesauce, add it after you've mixed in all the flour mixture.) Stir in oats and raisins with rubber spatula or spoon. Drop teaspoon sized scoops onto a cookie sheet (we used a Silpat) and bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden. Let cool for 1 or 2 minutes and transfer to a wire cooling rack. Makes about 4 dozen cookies.
Tips:
- For chewier cookies, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
- Toasted oats add a nutty flavor to the cookies. To toast oats, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Use a combination of raisins and other dried fruits, such as cranberries, cherries, or apricots.
- For a more intense oatmeal flavor, use old-fashioned oats instead of quick-cooking oats.
- If the dough is too sticky to handle, chill it for 30 minutes before shaping the cookies.
- Bake the cookies until they are golden brown around the edges but still soft in the center. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
