During my wonderful weekend, I decided to make my hubby some of his favorite cookies in the whole wide world! He is absolutely in love with Oatmeal Raisin cookies. I knew that I had the ingredients I needed a recipe. I searched the web and came up with a few recipes that I liked in part but not as a whole. So I decided to borrow from a couple of different recipes and make my own. I didn’t have any baking soda on hand (As someone that likes to bake I’m embarrassed) so I used baking powder instead. The cookies came out chewy which is how my hubby likes them so I guess they’re a winner! Kaylee had a cookie too but it’s ok since she’s under weight for her age and most of the ingredients are organic (that’s how I justify it). Here’s the recipe if you want to try these scrumptious cookies for yourself! =)
Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
Serves: 24
Ingredients
- 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp apple pie spice (this is a mixture of nutmeg, allspice and cinnamon)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup raisins
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Make sure that the racks in your over are adjusted to the middle and lower positions.
- Line your baking sheets with parchment and spray with non stick cooking spray. If you have a silicone mat, these work great too.
- In a medium sized bowl, sift the flour and baking powder together. Add the salt and apple pie spice and whisk together.
- In another bowl. Whisk the butter until creamy (if you’re using an electric mixer, beat the butter for about 3 minutes on medium speed.)
- Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar. Continue to mix until fluffy.
- Add the egg and mix until smooth.
- Slowly fold the dry mixture into butter mixture.
- Add the oats and raisins.
- Fold until everything is blended.
- Using a 2 tbsp measure, drop the cookies onto your baking sheets leaving about 2 inches in between each cookie. They will spread a bit.
- Bake until the cookie edges turn golden brown, about 22 to 25 minutes.
- Half way through the baking time, rotate the baking sheets and switch the baking sheets (the top will go to the bottom and vice versa).
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes. Transfer the cookies with a spatula to a wire rack. Let cool at least 30 minutes. Then enjoy!
I hope you enjoy the cookies as much as we did!
They look delicious. I like mixing several recipes too!

Thanks Anne Marie! I like them with craisins instead of raisins. They are a good substitute. I'm following you back. Thank you for stopping by! =)
