The Best Oatmeal Raisin Cookies Ever Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• In large bowl, cream together butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until fluffy. Stir together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually beat into butter mixture. Stir in oats and raisins. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown. Cool slightly, remove from sheet to wire rack. Cool completely.

Steps:

• This is a very important first step that makes the cookie: combine eggs, raisins and vanilla and let stand for one hour.
• Cream together butter and sugars.
• Add flour, salt, cinnamon and soda and mix well.
• Blend in egg-raisin mixture, oatmeal, and chopped nuts.
• Dough will be stiff.
• Drop by heaping teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheet, or roll into balls and flatten slightly.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Whisk eggs in a small bowl, add 1/4 cup water, 1 tsp vanilla and raisins; mix well. VERY IMPORTANT let set on counter for at least 1 hour.
• In another bowl, combine crisco, and sugars, mix well.
• Gradually add dry ingredients.
• Blend in raisin mixture -- mix well.
• I use a cookie scoop, slightly less than 1/4 cup and place them on a greased cookie sheet. I slightly flatten them with the back of the scoop.
• Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes. Do not flatten cookies a lot -- just a gentle tap.other wise they will flatten out too much.
• Baking note: please remember to reverse position of cookie sheets halfway through baking. DO NOT OVER BAKE. Cookies should be slightly golden brown around edges. Centers will look set-- let cool 1 minute on cookie sheet and then remove to wire rack to complete cool.
• I have used this recipe for over 30 years-- always outstanding-- most important thing to remove cookies from oven before they are finished-- residual heat in cookies will complete cooking-- and result in a cookie that is not dried out.
• I also add more walnuts, as I like lots of big nuts in my oatmeal cookies-- I have often left the egg, raisin mixture on counter, for a couple of hours while cleaning house and came back and baked marvelous cookies.

Steps:

• Combine the oats, flour, cinnamon, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Beat the butter, sugar and molasses in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla until smooth, about 2 more minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low, add the flour mixture and beat until combined. Stir in the raisins by hand. For the best flavor and texture, cover the dough and chill at least 4 hours, or overnight.
• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Form the dough into 12 balls, about 2 tablespoonfuls each, and arrange 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Flatten with the back of a fork. Bake until the cookies are golden, 15 to 17 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.

Steps:

• Arrange an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda and cinnamon in a small bowl until combined. Beat the brown sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the honey, vanilla, egg and 1 tablespoon warm water and beat on high speed until creamy, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl, about 3 minutes more. Add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed, scraping the bowl as needed, until completely combined. Add the oats and beat on low speed until combined. Fold in the raisins until evenly distributed. Arrange twelve 1-ounce scoops (2-tablespoon portions) of cookie dough on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each. Bake until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool on the sheet for 10 minutes, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Let the baking sheet cool, and then repeat with the remaining cookie dough.

Steps:

• 1. 1-2 hours before -- The key is to soak the raisins. This makes all the difference in the world. Beat eggs and vanilla together and then add the raisins, stir. Soak for an hour or two. Stir periodically.
• 2. Preheat oven to 350.
• 3. Cream butter and sugars with mixer.
• 4. In a separate bowl combine flour, salt, baking soda, cinammon, ginger & nutmeg. Stir the dry ingredients until well blended.
• 5. Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture and mix well.
• 6. Add in the egg & raisin mixture (I used my hands).
• 7. Add in the oatmeal and chocolate chips/nuts and combine well. *Note* whenever I use craisins instead, I don't add the optional chips or nuts, but feel free to experiment!
• 8. Form into balls on a lightly greased cookie sheet (I just lined mine with parchment paper). Bake 10-13 minutes until JUST turning golden brown on the edges. (Mine took 10 min on regular pans, 12 min on air bake pans)
• 9. Let cool on cookie sheet for 2-5 minutes or until firm enough to transfer to wire rack. Makes 2 1/2 dozen large cookies. I used a cookie scoop for smaller cookies, and it made exactly 56 cookies (just over 4 1/2 dozen)

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the eggs, raisins, and vanilla. Cover and chill for 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, cinnamon and baking soda; add to the creamed mixture and stir until all of the dry ingredients are absorbed. Next, stir in the egg and raisin mixture, then stir in the rolled oats and pecans. Dough will be stiff. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto an unprepared cookie sheet.
• Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, until the edges are golden. Allow cookies to cool 5 minutes on the baking sheet before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
