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 375°F (191°C).
- 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.

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.
THIN AND CRISPY OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES
I tried to combine recipes to come up with a cookie that tastes like Tate's Bake Shop cookies. The published Tate's recipe on YouTube does not taste like the cookies you buy in the store in the green bag. This is the closest I've come to simulating the oatmeal raisin flavor. This is not a thick cakey cookie but a thin, crisp, lighter version.

THICK, CHEWY OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES
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.

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.

OATMEAL-RAISIN COOKIE THINS
The edges of these little guys may brown before the center, but don't panic; that's what makes them so delicious--a crunchy edge and soft center (and under 100 calories for two). They are best eaten within a day or two--although they won't last that long!

Steps:
- Position the oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line three baking sheets with parchment paper and lightly coat with cooking spray. Combine the oats, flour, cinnamon and salt in a food processor and pulse until the oats are finely chopped.
- Combine the oil, sugar and maple syrup in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat and cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the oat mixture, raisins and vanilla. Let the mixture cool slightly. Stir in the egg white.
- Drop teaspoonfuls of batter about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle with the turbinado sugar if using. Bake until golden brown (the edges of the cookies will be a deeper golden brown), rotating the sheets about halfway through, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes, and then transfer to a rack to cool completely.

Tips:
- Choose the right oats. Old-fashioned oats are the best choice for these cookies because they hold their shape and provide a chewy texture. Quick-cooking or instant oats will make the cookies too soft and mushy.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies at a high temperature. Baking the cookies at a high temperature will help them get crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
- Don't overbake the cookies. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies just until they are set and the edges are just starting to brown.

Thick Oatmeal Raisin Cookies are a classic for a reason. They're easy to make, delicious, and perfect for any occasion.
