Everyday Baking: Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Hello Everyone,
Wow, I can’t believe I’ve never posted this recipe. Last night, my husband asked me for my oatmeal raisin cookie recipe. I guess since I’ve been out of comission for nearly three weeks, he was getting desperate for something sweet. When he asked I responded, “It’s on Just Like June.” Yet, when I came here to look for it I realized that I had never posted my favorite go-to recipe. I love oatmeal raisin cookies and I’ve spent a lot of time tweaking this recipe to my liking. I hope you enjoy!
Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Ingredients
1 cup of butter softened
½ cup light brown sugar
½ cup dark brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ginger
½ teaspoon salt
3 cups oats
½ cup regular raisins
½ cup golden raisins
¼ cup craisins
Directions
1.) Preheat oven to 350°F.
2.) In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugars, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
3.) In another bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, ginger and salt; stir into the sugar mixture.
4.) Stir in the oats, raisins and craisins.
5.) Refrigerate dough for 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
6.) Drop by rounded tablespoons onto parchment lined cookie sheets.
7.) Bake 9-10 minutes until light and golden.
8.) Let them cool for 3 minutes on sheet. Put cookies on wire rack to cool completely. Cookies will be very very soft and will fall apart if you try to eat them before they are relatively cool.
Cheers,
Just Like June
