Soft Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
These oatmeal raisin cookies are the most deliciously soft and chewy version of the amazing, classic cookie combo!
Servings: 16 cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup white sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger
- 1 1/4 cups chunky peanut butter
- 2 1/4 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
- 2 1/4 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup raisins, soaked
Instructions
- About 15 minutes before you start your cookie dough, place your raisins in a bowl and cover them with hot water. Let the raisins soak, then drain the liquid before folding them into the dough.
- Add your butter and sugars to a large mixing bowl or your stand mixer and beat on high for about 2-3 minutes until they are creamed together.
- Add the eggs one at a time and mix on medium speed for about 5 minutes until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
- Add the vanilla, spices, baking soda, and molasses and beat for 1 minute. Then add the peanut butter and mix until well combined.
- Carefully add your oats one cup at a time, mixing well after each cup. Drain the raisins and gently fold them into the dough, mixing until completely incorporated.
- Cover your dough with plastic wrap and place the bowl into the refrigerator. Let the dough chill for at least 15 minutes, 30 minutes if you can!
- While your dough is chilling, preheat the oven to 350℉ and line your cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, make 2” balls with the dough and place on your cookie sheet.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes until the edges are just set. The center will still be soft and look underdone, but trust me you want to pull these out when they're still gooey!
- Let your cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
- Serve and enjoy!
