THE BEST CHEWY OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES RECIPE

Steps:

• Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream the softened butter and both sugars together on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes.
• Add eggs and mix on high until combined well.
• Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Add the vanilla and molasses and mix on high until combined.

• Add to the wet ingredients and mix on low until combined. Beat in the oats, raisins, and walnuts (if using) on low speed.
• Dough will be very sticky and thick.
• Chill the dough for 30-60 minutes in the refrigerator - if freezing dough, go ahead and use my tips above for perfectly frozen cookie dough.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
• Roll balls of dough (about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie) and place 2 inches apart on the baking sheets.

EASY OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F, line a baking sheet with a Silpat or spray with cooking spray; set aside.
• To a large bowl, add the egg, butter, sugars, vanilla, and mix with a spoon aggressively for about 90 seconds, or until smooth and slightly fluffed, i.e. your bicep and shoulder should be burning if you've mixed well enough.
• Add the oats, flour, baking soda, salt, and stir to combine.
• Add the chocolate chips and stir to combine.
• Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, form mounds and place on prepared baking sheet spaced about 2 inches apart (I baked 12 cookies on the first sheet)
• Bake for about 10 to 13 minutes (short for super soft cookies, longer for more well-done cookies), or until edges have set and tops are just set, even if slightly undercooked, pale, and glossy in the center; don't overbake. Cookies firm up as they cool.
• Immediately upon taking the baking sheet out of the oven, add about 5 additional chocolate chips per cookie. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for about 10 minutes before serving. I let them cool on the baking sheet and don't use a rack.
