Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 cup softened unsalted butter
- 1 cup golden brown sugar
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon and a half molasses
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup raisins soaked in hot water
- 1 cup walnuts, chopped
Instructions
- Set the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) for baking.
- Soak raisins in hot water for about 10 minutes, then drain them well.
- In a bowl, combine butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on high speed for 2 minutes until creamy.
- Add egg, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and molasses to the mixture; blend until fully combined.
- Sift flour with baking soda and salt into the wet ingredients; mix on low speed just until incorporated.
- Fold in rolled oats, quick-cooking oats, drained raisins, and chopped walnuts gently but thoroughly.
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper for easy removal of cookies later.
- Use a cookie scoop to portion out dough onto your hands to roll balls before placing them evenly spaced on the prepared sheet.
- Bake cookies in the preheated oven for approximately 8-12 minutes based on how chewy or crispy you prefer them to be; keep an eye on their color as they bake.
- Let cookies cool briefly on the baking sheet before moving them onto a wire rack so they can cool completely without steaming themselves soft.
Notes
For chewy oatmeal raisin cookies, soak the raisins in hot water for about 10 minutes to enhance their texture and sweetness.
