Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

By Tobias October 18, 2018

The most underrated cookie there is. For many, oats is a breakfast food and few really like raisins. But the way they go together in a cookie is utterly satisfying and tasty. And the best part, you don't feel bad about eating a cookie with healthy ingredients 😉

Recently, I talked with a friend about cookies and oatmeal raisin cookies in particular. The very same day, I came home and realized that all the talking had me craving them. So I looked up a couple recipes and did some twists and tweaks like toasting the oats before baking and using raisins soaked in 100 proof rum (which I happen to keep in my pantry at all times).

If you don't wan't the rum flavor, you can easily just puff up your raisins with hot water.

Ingredients

  • Butter - 1 stick / 113g, softened
  • Granulated Sugar - 1/3 cup / 65g
  • Light Brown Sugar - 1/3 cup / 75g
  • Egg - 1 large, room temperature
  • Pure Vanilla Extract - 1 tsp
  • All-Purpose Flour - 3/4 cups / 100g
  • Salt - 1/2 tsp
  • Cinnamon - 1/2 tsp
  • Baking Soda - 1/2 tsp
  • Oats - 1.5 cups / 150g
  • Raisins - 3/4 cup / 75 - 100g

Instructions

  1. If not using rum raisins, put raisins in a small heat proof bowl and add boiling water. Let soak for about 10 minutes.*
  2. Heat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and distribute the oats evenly on a large sheet pan.
  3. Toast for about 10 minutes until fragrant. Set aside to cool.
  4. Cream butter and sugars until nice and pale and fluffy.
  5. Stir in the egg until well combined.
  6. Add Vanilla Extract and combine.
  7. Mix flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a small bowl and add to the butter mixture. Mix until every ingredient is thoroughly incorporated.
  8. Add the cooled oats (make sure they are cold so the cookie dough doesn't melt from the heat) and incorporate.
  9. Drain the raisins (either from the rum or the hot water) and pad try with paper towels to not bring too much moisture in the dough. Add and incorporate.
  10. Use two spoons or an ice cream scoop to portion out the cookies in your desired size.
  11. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 11 - 14 minutes (depending on size).
  12. Let the cookies sit on the sheet pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

*To soak raisins in rum, just put raisins in a jar and top with 100 proof rum until they're submerged. Let sit for a couple weeks and then use for whatever you like.

Guten Appetit!

Hey, I'm Tobias and since I was a small kid, watching my mom prepare food for the family, I have been fascinated by food, cooking, and baking. In the past years, a love for classic craft cocktails and good wine came as add-on. And now I'm trying to use my free time to travel all over our planet, connect with friends, and explore the culinary offerings this beautiful world has.

Because good food brings good people together.
