Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies made with classic ingredients for a buttery cookie spiced with cinnamon and dotted with plump raisins! Perfect oatmeal raisin cookie recipe anyone can make at home!
Place the raisins in a bowl and fill it with water until the raisins are just covered. Soak them for 15 minutes then drain and gently pat to dry.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt; set aside.
In a stand mixer or using a hand mixer, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until it’s light and fluffy.
Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until combined.
Add the dry ingredients and mix on low until just combined. Careful not to overmix.
Fold in the oats and raisins (the dough will be thick).
Cover and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.
Measure dough balls using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop. Place the dough balls on cookie sheets evenly spaced about 1 ½ inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are turning light brown and the top is starting to set.
Cool the cookies on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. Enjoy!
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container for up to one week.To keep the cookies soft, simply put a piece of bread in the container with the cookies. For best results, bake the cookies one tray at a time on the center rack.
