Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 1 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 cups rolled oats
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons molasses
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup raisins

Steps:

  • Combine the oats, flour, cinnamon, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Beat the butter, sugar and molasses in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla until smooth, about 2 more minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low, add the flour mixture and beat until combined. Stir in the raisins by hand. For the best flavor and texture, cover the dough and chill at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Form the dough into 12 balls, about 2 tablespoonfuls each, and arrange 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Flatten with the back of a fork. Bake until the cookies are golden, 15 to 17 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.

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 becoming hard in the cookies.
  • 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 at a high temperature (400°F) for a short amount of time (10-12 minutes). This will give them a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.

Conclusion:

These chewy oatmeal raisin cookies are the perfect treat for any occasion. They're easy to make and always a hit with people of all ages. So next time you're in the mood for a delicious and satisfying cookie, give this recipe a try!
