26 Mar Oatmeal Recipe – Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Oatmeal Recipes Continued… in honor of one of my favorite oatmeal companies, Quaker Oats, giving $50,000 to end hunger in the US, I am sharing some of my fav oat recipes…
This is the recipe on the inside of the top of the Oatmeal… it really is the best one!
Vanishing Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) plus 6 tablespoons butter, softened
- 3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
- 3 cups Quaker® Oats (quick or old fashioned, uncooked)
- 1 cup raisins
Preparation
Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, beat butter and sugars on medium speed of electric mixer until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well. Add combined flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; mix well. Add oats and raisins; mix well.
Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool 1 minute on cookie sheets; remove to wire rack. Cool completely. Store tightly covered.
Notes: I generally double, if not triple, the amount of cinnamon I use – and I know to add a little nutmeg as well. Or – you can use 2 tsp of apple pie spice.
