🍪 Chewy Raisin Oatmeal Cookies (Soft, Buttery & Perfect)
Ingredients (makes about 24 cookies):
- 1 cup (230 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200 g) brown sugar
- ½ cup (100 g) white sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp salt
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1½ cups raisins
- Optional: ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
1. Prep
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Cream the butter & sugars
In a large bowl, beat:
- softened butter
- brown sugar
- white sugar
until creamy and smooth (about 2–3 minutes).
3. Add eggs & vanilla
Beat in eggs one at a time.
Add vanilla and mix until smooth.
4. Add dry ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together:
- flour
- baking soda
- cinnamon
- salt
Add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix just until combined.
5. Add oats & raisins
Stir in the rolled oats and raisins (and nuts if using).
Chill dough 20–30 minutes for extra thickness and chewiness.
6. Scoop & bake
Scoop dough into 1½-tbsp balls.
Place on baking sheet, spaced apart.
Bake 10–12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden and centers look a little soft.
7. Cool
Let cool on the tray 5 minutes before transferring to a rack.
⭐ Cookie Tips for Maximum Chewiness
- Brown sugar = ultra chewy texture.
- Chill the dough for thicker cookies.
- Take them out slightly underbaked — they finish on the tray.
- Soak raisins in warm water for 10 minutes for extra plumpness.
