My Fav Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Recipe

I have another Oatmeal Cookie recipe on this blog…but this is my favourite recipe. The cookies come out flat but not too flat… chewy & crispy around the edges…

If you like a domed cookie, check out my Mother-In-Laws recipe… Zeldas Oatmeal Cookies

But…if you like a flat cookie…try this recipe!

I have been making it for years.. It is from jQuaker Oats…the recipe is called Jamie Watt’s Favourite Oatmeal Cookies

I have tried to double this recipe & oddly it doesn’t always work out..which does not really make sense but whatever…now I just make the recipe as it is written!!

I have omitted the raisins sometimes this recipe & put in chocolate chips so that is an option if you prefer not have to raisins in your cookies! Murray likes raisins, my kids like chocolate chips… In the I have divided the dough in half before adding either..& one half gets raisins & the other half gets chocolate chips.. but now it is just Murray & I at home, so I put raisins in the whole recipe!

Here is the recipe from Quaker Oats

Ingredients

1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup butter, softened

1/2 tsp vanilla

1 egg

3/4 cup flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 cup Oats…I used quick oats

1/2 tsp salt

1 Tbsp water

1/2 cup raisins ( or chocolate chips)

Method

Preheat oven to 325f

Line baking sheets with parchment paper

  1. In the bowl of a mixer, cream the sugar, brown sugar & butter together until combined
  2. Add the vanilla & the egg & mix until smooth
  3. Mix the flour & baking soda together, add the oats & salt…. then mix this into the butter mixture
  4. Add the water…mix
  5. Stir in the raisins or chocolate chips
  6. Use a 1 tsp scoop or a spoon & drop cookies onto the prepared baking sheet leaving some space between them…
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until light brown
  8. Let them sit on the baking sheet for a bit to harden up, then transfer them to a cooling rack

Enjoy!

*** I did not take my usual pictures of these cookies, but it is pretty straight forward recipe!

Many people ask me "how did you do that?" "will you show me how?' So I decided to make a blog about what I cook and bake. I am in no way a professional cook, but I love to feed people and try new things as well as making the "old foods" My friends are wonderful cooks, each with their own 'specialty' and i will be having guest cooks here, showcasing their favourite things to cook as well!! I hope you enjoy this blog and maybe decide to make some of these foods yourself! I am always available to answer any questions you might have about anything you see here. Some of my recipes are unique to me but most are not. They are all recipes I have found in a variety of ways, some are old family recipes that date back decades and some are new ones!
