Description

This recipe makes delicious, chewy oatmeal raisin cookies, and it’s not humanly possible to eat just one! Most recently I made these for a work meeting and by the time the plate had cycled back to me, there was only one left! I think there’s something addictive in oats. I don’t really follow a recipe when I make these cookies. I start with a base that you could add just about any extra ingredients to and create your own.

Ingredients

  • ½ cups Butter, Softened
  • ½ cups Shortening
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • ½ cups Granulated Sugar
  • 1-½ cup Light Brown Sugar
  • 1-¾ cup All-purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 1-½ teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 3 cups Oats
  • 1 cup Raisins
  • 1 cup Chopped Walnuts (optional)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375°.

Cream together butter, shortening, vanilla extract and eggs. Mix in granulated and brown sugar until incorporated.

In a separate bowl combine flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix.

Gently mix in oats, raisins (and walnuts, if using).

Place 1- 1 1/2 inch balls of dough 2 inches apart on a baking sheet.

Bake for 8-10 minutes. Cool on the sheet for 2 minutes and remove to a wire rack or paper towel.

Delicious! Sticky dough though and they didn’t spread so they are pretty thick, but still awesome.

Really good. Chewy and delicious. I skipped the nuts and used butterscotch and chocolate chips.

This is a go-to oatmeal recipe! Really good with craisins, too!

These turned out great. I have just replaced my old recipe with this one.

These cookies were FABULOUS! My husband, who is an oatmeal cookie perfectionist, declared them “the best I’ve ever had”.
