THIN AND CRISPY OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES



Thin and Crispy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies image

I tried to combine recipes to come up with a cookie that tastes like Tate's Bake Shop cookies. The published Tate's recipe on YouTube does not taste like the cookies you buy in the store in the green bag. This is the closest I've come to simulating the oatmeal raisin flavor. This is not a thick cakey cookie but a thin, crisp, lighter version.

  • Stir in the dry ingredients until just combined: Do not overmix, as this can result in tough cookies.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes: This will help to firm up the dough and make it easier to handle.
  • Bake the cookies at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes: Do not overbake, as this can result in dry, crumbly cookies.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before enjoying: This will help to prevent them from becoming soggy.
