CHOCOLATE COOKIES WITH CHOCOLATE COVERED RAISINS



Chocolate Cookies With Chocolate Covered Raisins image

We bought a bunch of dark chocolate covered raisins from the candy bins where you scoop out what you want. So my DH scooped up a lot! I hid half of it till I tossed this recipe together. The outside is crunchy, but the center will be moist and chewy. This recipe has two methods of directions so it's not a hard recipe to put together. Your choice.

OATMEAL COOKIES WITH CHOCOLATE COVERED RAISINS image

Categories     Cookies     Chocolate     Dessert

Yield Makes approximately 42 cookies.

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 stick of unsalted butter, softened
1 stick of Land 'o Lakes baking spread, softened
2 eggs at room temperature
3/4 c. packed light brown sugar
3/4 c. white sugar
1 T. vanilla
1-1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon (preferably Saigon)
3 c. old-fashioned oats
2-1/2 c. chocolate covered raisins

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a bowl and set aside. Beat the butter, baking spread and sugars together for 3 minutes on high speed until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat an additional three minutes on high speed. Add the flour mixture slowly and in 2-3 batches until thoroughly mixed with the butter, sugar and eggs. Add the oatmeal and raisins last. Roll generous tablespoon of dough into balls and place on ungreased baking sheet. Bake for approximately 10 minutes. Watch the cookies at the baking time because they will brown quickly.

Tips:

  • Choose High-Quality Ingredients: Use good quality semisweet chocolate and plump, juicy raisins for the best flavor and texture.
  • Properly Temper the Chocolate: Tempering the chocolate ensures a smooth, glossy finish and a stable texture. If you don't temper the chocolate, it may seize and become grainy.
  • Use a Double Boiler: Melting the chocolate over a double boiler or in a microwave-safe bowl set over a pot of simmering water helps prevent overheating and scorching.
  • Cool the Chocolate-Covered Raisins Thoroughly: Place the chocolate-covered raisins on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate is completely set.
  • Store Properly: Keep the chocolate-covered raisins in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. They can be stored for up to 2 weeks.
