Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup (125 grams) all-purpose flour ((spooned & leveled))
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 and 1/2 cups (150 grams) old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup (115 grams) unsalted butter ((softened))
1/2 cup (100 grams) packed light or dark brown sugar
1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
1 large egg ((room temperature))
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup (150 grams) raisins

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the old-fashioned rolled oats and set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or in a large mixing bowl using a handheld mixer, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together for 1 to 2 minutes or until well combined. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until fully combined, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Add the dry ingredients and continue mixing on low speed until just combined, then mix in the raisins.
  • Cover the cookie dough tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
  • Once the dough is chilled, remove it from the refrigerator. Using a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop the cookie dough and drop onto the prepared baking sheets. Roll the cookie dough into balls and very gently press down with your hand to flatten each ball of cookie dough slightly. Make sure to leave a little room between each ball of cookie dough as they will spread a little while they bake.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden brown and the tops are set. Remove from the oven and cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack cool completely.

THE BEST OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES



The Best Oatmeal Raisin Cookies image

Do you like chewy cookies? Or do you prefer cakey ones? Our oatmeal-raisin cookies can be both! For a chewy cookie, bake them right away. For a cakey cookie, let the dough rest in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours (or overnight works even better) to allow the oatmeal to hydrate. Then bake for a puffy cookie. We used dark brown sugar for added flavor and moisture but our secret ingredient is honey. When baked right away, the honey causes the cookie to spread, keeping it soft and moist. When you let the dough rest, the oatmeal and flour absorb the honey for that classic cakey texture.

Time 1h30m

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg, at room temperature
2 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup raisins

Steps:

  • Arrange an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda and cinnamon in a small bowl until combined. Beat the brown sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the honey, vanilla, egg and 1 tablespoon warm water and beat on high speed until creamy, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl, about 3 minutes more. Add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed, scraping the bowl as needed, until completely combined. Add the oats and beat on low speed until combined. Fold in the raisins until evenly distributed. Arrange twelve 1-ounce scoops (2-tablespoon portions) of cookie dough on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each. Bake until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool on the sheet for 10 minutes, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Let the baking sheet cool, and then repeat with the remaining cookie dough.

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.

Time 45m

Yield 3 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup/227 grams (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, more for pans
1 cup/200 grams dark brown sugar, packed
1/3 cup/66 grams granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon/15 milliliters vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups/187 grams all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom or ground ginger
3 cups/270 grams rolled oats (not instant)
1 1/2 cups/225 grams raisins

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter two large cookie sheets, or line them with parchment paper or reusable silicone liners.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat butter in a large bowl until creamy. Add brown and granulated sugars, then beat until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Then, beat in vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, use a wooden spoon or spatula to mix together the flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom. Set mixer on low speed, and beat flour mixture into the butter mixture. Stir in oats and raisins.
  • Spoon out dough by large tablespoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheets, leaving at least 2 inches between each cookie.
  • Bake until cookie edges turn golden brown, about 9 to 13 minutes. Centers will still be quite soft, but they will firm up as the cookies cool. Cool completely on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use old-fashioned oats instead of quick oats or steel-cut oats. Old-fashioned oats provide the best texture and flavor for these cookies.
  • Soak the raisins in hot water for 10 minutes before adding them to the cookie dough. This will help to plump them up and make them softer.
  • Use a cookie scoop to drop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. This will help to ensure that the cookies are all the same size and shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set around the edges but still soft in the center. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Conclusion:

These healthy oatmeal raisin cookies are a delicious and nutritious snack or breakfast option. They are made with whole grain oats, raisins, and other healthy ingredients. The cookies are also low in sugar and fat, making them a healthier alternative to traditional oatmeal raisin cookies. Whether you are looking for a healthy snack or a sweet treat, these healthy oatmeal raisin cookies are a great choice.
