Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

July 12, 2010 by Arena Blake 5 Comments

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

The Nerd has been working extremely long hours lately (last week, he put in 67 hours), so I wanted to do something nice for him.

His absolute favorite cookies are oatmeal raisin, so I started combing the Internet for recipes.

When I found this one for thick and chewy cookies, I knew I had found *the one.*

Source: Smitten Kitchen

Ingredients:

1/2 cup (1 stick or 4 ounces) butter, softened
2/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt (I often use a half teaspoon, but I like more salt in my baked goods)
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
3/4 cup raisins

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

 In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the sugars, butter, egg and vanilla.

  In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, soda, cinnamon and salt.

Add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture and mix well. Add the oats and raisins and stir together well.

Drop by the tablespoon on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. They should be about two inches apart.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges have just started to turn brown. The centers should still be a bit gooey.

Let them cool for a bit to firm up before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Best oatmeal raisin recipe i've found so far. My own nerd really enjoyed them. To be evil I added an equal amount of chocolate chips :3
