Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies- Soft as a pillow cookies with the classic flavor of oatmeal and sweet raisins.

I don’t make oatmeal raisin cookies too very often. My kids will eat an oatmeal cookie plain, iced or of course, packed full of chocolate chips. But, with raisins? They aren’t fans.

So, my husband and I actually get an entire batch of cookies to ourselves. Which is nice. Because, guys, I literally have hidden cookies in my house to be sure that they aren’t devoured before everyone gets one. They are a cookie lovin’ bunch..no joke.

What Ingredients are Needed?

• Flour + Salt+ Baking soda+ Ground cinnamon
• Quick cooking oats
• Brown sugar
• Eggs
• Butter
• Honey + Vanilla
• Raisins

Can I Use Old Fashion Oats? Yes. But, before adding to the batter, give them a quick grind in your food processor or blender.

Can I Use Coconut Palm Sugar? Yes. It works great as a replacement for the brown sugar.

No honey on hand? Pure maple syrup can be used as a substitute.

Can I omit the raisins? Yes, if you also aren’t a raisin fan, feel free to omit them or cut back the amount. For a little crunch, you can also add a few crushed walnuts or pecans.

Chilling Your Dough:

After mixing your cookie dough, place it in the refrigerator or freezer. If you use the fridge, let the dough chill for about 2 hours. If you are using the freezer, chill it for only an hour.

As you can see by the above pic, chilling the dough makes a difference. When the dough is at room temperature, the cookies will spread more. Don’t get me wrong, they are still delicious cookies, but, have a bit different texture.

If your dough is a bit more frozen than chilled at the time of baking, that’s fine. Just increase your baking time by about two minutes.
