Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

While these cookies may be every dad’s favourite, they may be on to something here. Oatmeal raisin cookies give the satisfaction of sweetness but also have a delicious spice to them that make them a more unique cookie than the classic chocolate chip. They can definitely thank pumpkin pie spice for that one!

Along with my walnut chocolate chunk cookies, I like to make a big batch of these ahead of time before I go camping. With my son the cookie fiend, we can never have too many cookies for quick bites.

Baking Tip: don’t stop at just the raisins! Feel free to add cranberries, dates, and other dried fruit or even walnuts and pumpkin seeds. Customize your cookie!

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time 15 mins
Chill Dough Time 30 mins
Total Time 45 mins
Course baked treats
Servings 24 cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp real vanilla extract
  • 3½ cup quick oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • ½  tsp baking powder
  • ½  tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 cup raisins

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat® baking mat. Set aside.
  • Cream the butter with the brown and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add in eggs and vanilla, and mix on low speed to combine.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients, and then add the dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix. Stir in raisins until combined.
  • Cover and chill dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before baking.
  • Divide the dough into 24 equal-sized balls. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet with 1-2 inches between balls of dough. Press balls down with the bottom of a glass.
    Tip: To keep the dough from sticking to the glass, wet the bottom of the glass before pressing down on the dough.
  • Place in the pre-heated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
