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.

SUGAR FREE OATMEAL RAISIN SPICE COOKIES MIX IN A JAR



Sugar Free Oatmeal Raisin Spice Cookies Mix in a Jar image

My personal version of a recipe I found on www.budget101.com. I wanted to do more than just have a good sugar free cookie since the starchy carbs in the flour will also jack blood sugar. This version comes out fantastic! They are more cake like than a standard crisp cookie and stay wonderfully moist in a cookie jar. Not that they will actually last long enough to worry.

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h

Yield 32 cookies, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 cup Splenda sugar substitute
3/4 cup flour
3/4 cup almond meal
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup raisins
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon clove
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2/3 cup butter, melted
4 egg whites
1/2 cup light vanilla yogurt (1 single serving 4oz cup)
1 teaspoon maple flavoring

Steps:

  • Carefully measure each ingredient into layers in a 1 quart jar. Re-used glass ice tea jars work great as well. Judicious us of a slim rolled paper cone does wonders to keep the layers clean. If mix is to be shipped ingredients may be measured into a clear plastic disposable pastry bag or decorative food safe cello bag to reduce shipping weight and then carefully tied closed.
  • Be sure to attach instruction card or label with the following directions: Combine above listed ingredients (from the list of "additionally to make cookies from mix") with 1 package of "Sugar Free Oatmeal Cookie Mix". Drop by cookie scoopfuls 1" - 2" apart onto parchment lined baking sheets. Bake 10 - 15 minutes at 350oF. Cookies do not spread much so will still be rather round and cake like. Allow to cool 5 minutes on baking sheets before carefully removing to cooling racks to completely cool. Store in a cool dry place.

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.

Categories     cookies and bars, dessert

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 for a chewier cookie.
  • Soak the raisins in hot water for 10 minutes before adding them to the dough. This will plump them up and prevent them from drying out in the oven.
  • 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 golden brown around the edges and just set in the center. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing them in an airtight container.
