Today I am sharing one of my favorite cookies from childhood. I love a classic cookie and oatmeal raisin cookies are a true classic. They are simple to mix up and they get eaten very quickly. The recipe is below and I have to give credit to Quaker Oats. Their recipe is the one I grew up with and why change a good thing. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plus 6 tablespoons butter, softened
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 cups oats (quick or old fashioned, uncooked)
- 1 cup raisins
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl beat the butter and both sugars until creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Then add the eggs and vanilla and beat well. Next add in the flour, baking soda, and cinnamon and mix well. Stir in by hand the oats and raisins until well combined. Using a tablespoon, scoop out the cookie dough and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 13-15 minutes or until lightly brown. Cool on cookie sheet for one minute and then remove to a wire rack or counter top. Store in an airtight container up to 5 days.
