JOY OF COOKING'S OATMEAL COOKIES

Hands down the best cookies I've ever tasted. I make then all the time and am always asked for the recipe! Sometimes, instead of raisins, I put in chocolate chips, and (my favorite) chocolate covered raisins.

Time 1h

Yield 42 cookies, 42 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 lb butter, soft
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup raisins
3 1/2 cups rolled whole oats

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Sift (sifting is important!) flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg (its not in the recipe, but I add about 1/8-1/4 tsp of ground cloves, too) into a mixing bowl.
Beat butter, brown sugar, sugar, eggs, and vanilla with a hand mixer at medium speed.
Sift (yes, again!) flour mixture into butter mixture and mix well.
Fold in raisins (or chocolate chips or chocolate covered raisins) and oats.
Spoon 1.5 inch balls onto non-stick cookie sheet.
Bake at 350°F for 6-9 minutes, rotating half way through baking. (Should be lightly firm in the center when done) Be careful -- oatmeal raisin cookies don't look done when they are, so they are very easy to over cook (unless you want then to be crispy) :).
