How to make Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Farenheight. Grease a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix in the eggs and vanilla.
Add the flour mixture into the wet mixture and stir until just combined (be careful not to overmix).
Stir in the oats and then fold in the raisins.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, add rounded spoonfuls of about 1.5 tablespoons cookie dough to the prepared cookie sheet. The cookies should be about 2” apart.
Bake for 12 – 13 minutes in the preheated oven. The cookies should be evenly golden brown on top with cracks that are soft. Let the cookies cool for 2 – 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies: FAQs

Are Oatmeal Raisin Cookies Healthy?

Not exactly. Although they have oatmeal and raisins which “sound” healthy, these cookies are full of fat and sugar. However, I do believe they can be part of a healthy diet if eaten in moderation with a diet consisting of mostly healthy foods.

Can Oatmeal Raisin Cookies be frozen?

Yes! After baking, allow the cookies to cool completely. Place them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet to freeze them. After they are frozen, store them in a freezer-safe zip-top storage bag labeled with the name and date.
