CHOCOLATE RAISIN COOKIES



Chocolate Raisin Cookies image

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Time 1h15m

Yield 40 - 48 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 apron
1 large mixing bowl
1 set of measuring cups
1 set of measuring spoons
1 sifter
1 wooden spoon
2 teaspoons
1 cookie sheet
1 spatula
2 potholders
1 wire cooling rack
aluminum foil
1 stick of butter, plus 1 or 2 teaspoons for greasing the cookie sheet
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup cocoa
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup raisins

Steps:

  • Take a stick of butter out of the refrigerator, open the wrapping and leave the butter on the kitchen counter until it gets pretty soft - allow at least 30 minutes.
  • When the butter is soft, wash your hands and put on an apron.
  • Put the butter in the bowl, and beat it with the wooden spoon until it gets creamy. Beat in the sugar until it is thoroughly mixed.
  • Crack open both eggs, and put them into the bowl that has the butter and sugar in it. Be careful not to get any bits of eggshell in the bowl. Beat the eggs with the butter and sugar until they are all mixed in.
  • Take the sifter, and put these ingredients into it: the flour, the cocoa, the baking powder and the salt.
  • Sift them into the bowl with the butter, sugar and eggs. Slowly mix everything together with the wooden spoon until it becomes brown and gooey. Then mix in the raisins.
  • Have an adult turn on the oven for you and set it to 350 degrees.
  • Wrap your cookie sheet with a piece of aluminum foil, keeping it nice and smooth. Smear the remaining 1 or 2 teaspoons butter all over the foil. Scoop up a teaspoon of the batter. Now, take the second teaspoon and use it to push the batter off onto the cookie sheet. Keep doing this until you have formed about 18 cookies, leaving about 2 inches of space space between the cookies. Don't worry that you have batter left over. You can make another batch of cookies.
  • Have an adult help you put the cookie sheet into the oven. Let the cookies bake for 15 minutes - the tops will no longer look shiny. Have an adult take the cookies out of the oven and help you slide them off the cookie sheet with the spatula and put them on the wire rack. Let them cool while you make another batch of the cookies with the rest of the batter.

PEANUT BUTTER, CHOCOLATE CHIP, RAISIN, OATMEAL COOKIES



Peanut Butter, Chocolate Chip, Raisin, Oatmeal Cookies image

I found this cookie recipe in the local newspaper courtsey of Sarah Wade. It sounded wonderful, however she didn't include raisins in this oatmeal cookie recipe (which to me is wrong on so many levels). I also felt that 1 tablespoon of baking soda had to be a mistake, so I made a few adjustments and a major compromise with my wife (about the raisins) to create my version of her "Almost Everything Cookies" We will add 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans to the recipe occasionally.

5 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups creamy peanut butter (we use reduced-fat)

  • Cream the butter until smooth and pale, then slowly add the granulated sugar, then the brown sugar until the sugars and butter are evenly mixed. If you are using a stand mixer, scrape down the sides and add the eggs 1 at a time until smooth. (We use a large cookie spoon to mix with) Add the corn syrup and vanilla and mix well.
  • Add the oat mixture @ 1/3 at a time mixing on low speed until fully mixed (it gets very stiff when doing by hand).
  • Fold in both kinds of chocolate chips ( nuts if you are using them) and then split dough in half and add the raisins to one half of the batch. Cover both batches with plastic wrap and refrigerate 3 hours minimum (overnight is best)).
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees and place rounded tablespoon sized ball on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake for about 12 minutes and let stand for about five minutes on cookie sheet before placing cookies on a wire rack to cool.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have raisins, you can substitute another dried fruit, such as cranberries or cherries.
  • Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing them in an airtight container.

Conclusion:

These chocolate raisin cookies are a classic for a reason. They're chewy, chocolatey, and packed with raisins. They're perfect for a snack, dessert, or even a gift. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make these delicious cookies at home.
