Oatmeal Raisin Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 sticks unsalted butter (1/2 pound), softened
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon table salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg
• 3 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup Raisins

Set Up Your Oven and Mixer

Adjust your oven racks to the lower and middle positions, and preheat the oven to 350°F. In a stand mixer or by hand, beat the butter until it’s creamy.

Cream the Sugars

Add both the brown and white sugars to the butter. Beat the mixture until it’s light and fluffy, which should take about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Combine the Dry Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk the flour, salt, baking powder, and nutmeg together.

Mix Dough and Add the Oats

Set your mixer to low. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Slowly fold in the oats and walnuts, if using.

Portion the Dough

Roll the dough into 2-inch balls. You should get between 16 to 20 balls. Place these on two baking sheets lined with parchment paper.

Bake Until Edges Are Golden

Bake the cookies for 22 to 25 minutes, ensuring to rotate the sheets from front to back and top to bottom halfway through the baking time.

Cool and Serve

Transfer the cookies, along with the parchment paper, onto a cooling rack. Allow them to cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
