Soft Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies Gluten Free Recipes

OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIE (SOFT & CHEWY)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan). Adjust oven racks to middle and low position, ensuring you have 4"/10cm between each rack. Line 2 trays with parchment/baking paper.
• Optional: Soak raisins in boiled water for 10 minutes. Drain then pat dry. (This makes them plumper).
• Sift dry ingredients: Sift flour, salt, baking powder and cinnamon into a bowl.
• Cream butter and sugar: Using a stand mixer or electric mixer, beat butter until creamy. Then beat in sugar until fluffy - about 2 - 3 minutes.
• Add eggs: Beat in eggs one at a time until incorporated.
• Mix in flour: Use a wooden spoon to stir the flour mixture in.
• Stir in oats and raisins: Stir in oats and raisins - this requires a bit of effort as the dough gets firm!
• Roll and flatten balls: Form 4cm / 1.6" balls (~18) and place onto baking trays 4"/10cm apart. I use an ice cream scoop. Then press down to slighty flatten into a thick disc shape.
• Bake for 11 minutes. Then swap the trays between the shelves AND turn the trays around. Bake for a further 11 - 14 minutes, or until cookies are golden on the edges and LIGHT golden on the surface.
• Cool on the trays for 5 minutes before transferring to cooling rack. Cool for 30 minutes before serving.

SOFT CHEWY OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES

Steps:

• Cream first 4 ingredients, add the premixed dry ingredients. Add the beaten eggs one at a time, rolled oats and raisins last. Roll in balls and flatten a bit or drop by spoonfuls onto parchment lined baking sheets. Bake @375 for 12 minutes.
• I always soak my raisins when making cookies. This way the don't take any moisture from the batter. Soak them for 15 minutes in the hottest tap water possible, drain the excess.
• I noticed someone had trouble getting these out of a pan? These are cookies, not bars, so bake as directed on parchment paper if they stick -- I just use good quality non stick pans and never use Pam or any lubrication.
