Old Fashioned Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Servings 28 cookies (approximately)
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 and ¾ cup all purpose flour
- 3 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ⅙ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup raisins
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 350° and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar to a large bowl and beat together with a hand mixer for about 2 minutes until it's fluffy.
- Add the eggs, vanilla, and molasses to the mixture and beat again for about 1 minute.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and gently mix together just until combined and you see no more loose flour.
- Fold in the raisins.
- Use a cookie scoop or measure about 2 tablespoons per cookie and place on the lined cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for about 12-14 minutes then let cool on the pan for about 10 minutes before moving to a cooling rack or other cool flat surface. (12 minutes leaves them soft and chewy throughout, while 14 minutes will give you crispy edges with a chewy center)
- Enjoy warm or allow to cool completely and store in an air-tight container for up to 5 days.
