Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Oatmeal Raisin cookies are honestly one of my favorites. They taste like home, warmth, spices, and comfort. I think a lot of people don’t usually think about these as a first choice for a cookie – but before you stop reading, you need to consider trying these! I know there are a lot of oatmeal raisin cookies out there that are too dry, too brittle, or just aren’t the right flavor – but I love this version! They are fluffy, doughy, with a taste a cinnamon, and a good amount of raisins without being overwhelming.

Let me know what you think!

Servings 9 cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup butter unsalted softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/4 cups + 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3/4 cup Old Fashioned Oats
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt I like to use 1 teaspoon
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup raisins

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees or 400 convection with rack in center of oven.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, or a large mixing bowl, place softened butter, and both sugars. Blend until there are no visible chunks of butter, about 1 minute on low or medium low.
  • Add egg and mix until smooth on low or medium low.
  • Stop mixer and add flour, cornstarch, oats, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Mix on low until just incorporated.
  • Add the raisins, and mix until just combined.
  • Measure out 3 oz portions using a kitchen scale, or a little smaller than a baseball. Do not compact the dough or use a cookie scoop and stack the cookie high so it will still be thick after baking.
  • Place the cookies on a prepared cookie sheet, lined with aluminum foil.
  • Bake for 5-6 minutes or until the cookie is barely set and golden on top.
  • Remove from oven and let sit for at least 30-60 minutes to allow the cookie to set up.
