Description
Delicious oatmeal cookies packed with raisins and walnuts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup raisins
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them to prevent sticking.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
- Crack the egg into the butter-sugar mixture and pour in the vanilla extract. Beat until fully combined, ensuring a smooth consistency.
- Gently stir in the raisins and, if using, the chopped walnuts.
- Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to drop portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Space them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. The centers should still look slightly soft.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is softened but not melted for the best texture.
- Feel free to add chocolate chips for an extra treat!
