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.

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.

  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.

  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature. This will help them get crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before eating them. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cookies to set.
