Recipe adapted from the packaging of Quaker Oats Oatmeal, Old Fashioned, 42 oz
Disclaimer, my father worked for the Quaker Oats Company for 33 years. I might be a little biased toward the Quaker Oats brand and this recipe. We always had Quaker Oatmeal in the house growing up as far back as I can remember.
Here is how I make oatmeal raisin cookies.
First, gather the ingredients.
Start with combining the following in a mixing bowl.
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 stick of unsalted butter
Mixed until smooth and creamy.
Grab 2 eggs.
Add the eggs and mix.
Add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Combine the dry ingredients in another bowl.
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Whisk together the dry ingredients.
Add the dry ingredients to the butter sugar mixture.
Measure 3 cups old fashioned oats.
Add the oats.
Measure 1/2 cup raisins.
Add the raisins to the mix.
Mix until dough forms. and looks something like this.
Each cookie is about one spoon full. If you are fancy, a cookie scoop would be useful here. But I don’t have one of those so I just use two spoons. Good news! I have cookie scoops now! yeah!!
Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let cool on drying rack before storing.
