    I always liked oatmeal raisin cookies, but I never really loved them. Most oatmeal raisin cookies I've tried have lacked flavor and/or were a bit too dry for my taste. However, a couple of my friends are obsessed with them, so I was highly motivated to create the perfect oatmeal raisin cookie that was soft, moist, and filled with flavor! The cinnamon and nutmeg pair so well with the oats and raisins to make the ultimate comfort cookie. My oatmeal raisin cookie-loving friends have called these the best oatmeal raisin cookies they've ever had!

    the best oatmeal raisin cookies

    Ingredients:

    • All-purpose flour
    • Whole wheat flour
    • Baking soda
    • Salt
    • Ground cinnamon
    • Ground nutmeg
    • Unsalted butter
    • Light brown sugar
    • Egg
    • Vanilla extract
    • Old fashioned oats
    • Raisins

    Equipment:

    • Baking sheet
    • Mixing bowls
    • Stand mixer with paddle attachment, wooden spoon, or hand mixer
    • Measuring spoons
    • Whisk
    • Scale (recommended) or measuring cups
    • Parchment paper (optional)
    • Cookie scoop (optional)
    • Cooling rack (optional)

    Tips & Storage:

    • Instead of using all-purpose and whole wheat flour, these cookies can be made with just all-purpose flour.
    • If you prefer, feel free to make them without raisins or substitute them with chocolate chips or another dried fruit!
    • Store at room temperature in an airtight container with half of a piece of bread. The cookies will absorb the moisture from the bread and stay soft longer.
    • Or, store in the freezer and let the cookies thaw or microwave them prior to eating.

      I have never made oatmeal raisin cookies, it was always something I wasn’t into, but after baking these... oh my gosh, it was amazing! The cookies were so moist and they had a good shelf life, but the flavor was out of this world. I have made these about 6 times now. So recommend these cookies.!!
