A warm, spiced oatmeal raisin cookie recipe with a chewy texture and plump raisins, perfect for any occasion and easy to make with simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (135g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) packed dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150g) raisins, plump and soft

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat softened unsalted butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer.
  4. Beat in the large egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated.
  6. Fold in the raisins gently.
  7. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are golden but centers still look slightly soft.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best chewy texture. Do not overbake; cookies should look slightly soft in the center when removed from oven. Dough can be prepared a day ahead and refrigerated. Rotate baking sheet halfway through baking for even browning. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free blend and use certified gluten-free oats. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and egg with flax egg.
