1/2 cup finely shredded and unsweetened coconut

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees with racks in the upper and lower thirds. Line two large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.

CLASSIC OATMEAL-RAISIN COOKIES



Classic Oatmeal-Raisin Cookies image

Full of nubby oats and plenty of sweet raisins, these lightly spiced cookies are pleasingly chewy in the center and crisp around the edges, with a hint of butterscotch from the dark brown sugar. They keep really well, so you can make them up to a week in advance and store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They're also great for mailing when a package of cookies is in order.

GRANDMA M'S SOFT RAISIN SPICE COOKIES



Grandma M's Soft Raisin Spice Cookies image

I have craved these for weeks and it took me that long to find them in her collection. Grandma has been gone for two years and I miss her baking so much. I couldn't find the recipe because she called them Delicious Drop Cakes but they are cookies.

Provided by KennKonn

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 25m

Yield 18-24 Cookies, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup raisins
3/4 cup nuts
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup hot water
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Cream butter and sugar.
  • Add well beaten egg.
  • Sift flour and spices.
  • Add raisins and nuts.
  • Mix together nuts and raisins in flour.
  • Slowly add flour, spice, nuts and raisins to egg, butter and sugar.
  • Add quickly baking soda dissolved in hot water.
  • Mix well until all liquid comes together.
  • Drop from spoon on greased pan.
  • Bake 10 minutes at 350. Watch, till slightly browning on the bottom edge.
  • These might take a tad longer in your oven, mine cooks high. This is just a guesstimate because Grandma just had Bake as the next instruction so time and heat was a guess for me. They are nice and soft and I have double the recipe without any problems.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh raisins and nuts will give your cookies the best flavor. If you're using dried raisins, be sure to plump them up in hot water before adding them to the dough.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are golden brown: The cookies should be golden brown around the edges and slightly darker in the center. If you're not sure if the cookies are done, insert a toothpick into the center of one. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cookies are done.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

These frosted raisin nut cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their chewy texture, sweet frosting, and crunchy nuts, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a simple and delicious cookie recipe, give these frosted raisin nut cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
