Oatmeal Raisin Cookies – Soft and chewy oatmeal raisin cookies spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg make for the perfect sweet snack. These cookies are great for anytime of year but I especially love making them in the fall and winter. The warm spices are comforting and make these the perfect addition to your holiday cookie collection.

JUMP TO RECIPE

What goes into making oatmeal raisin cookies?

You will need:

  1. granulated + brown sugar – molasses in the brown sugar gives these cookies even more depth of flavor.
  2. vanilla extract – this is a must! Use a good quality pure vanilla extract.
  3. baking soda + powder – for a light and fluffy cookie.
  4. salt – there are few foods in this world that don’t need salt, even dessert.
  5. all purpose flour – extremely versatile flour perfect for cookies.
  6. egg – increase richness of the cookie.
  7. rolled oats – I used old fashioned rolled oats – don’t use steel cut.
  8. raisins – gives these cookies the perfect sweet chew.
  9. butter – buttery cookies are the only cookies I want.
  10. cinnamon + nutmeg : gives these cookies a warm spice.

What tools do I need to make the cookies?

  1. hand held mixer or stand mixer
  2. 2 large bowls
  3. measuring cups + spoons
  4. baking sheet + parchment paper
  5. silicone spatula

Can I freeze the cookie dough for later use?

Yes! This cookie dough freezes great. Freeze the cookie dough for up to 3 months in an airtight freezer bag. When you are ready to use the dough, simply let the cookie dough soften enough to manage (but still very cold) and bake as directed in the recipe below.
