There are two types of people in this world. Raisin haters and raisin lovers. I fall into the latter category, there’s something incredibly magical about their chewy texture, soft centers, plump raisins, and cinnamon flavor. Please tell me I’m not the only raisin lover!!

SOFT & CHEWY OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES

Author Rachele Barbieri-Wright

Ingredients

1 Cup Raisins
1 Cup Butter (softened)
1 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar (packed)
2 Cup AP Flour
1 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
2 Cup Oatmeal (quick cooking oats)

Instructions

First, you put the raisins in a small pan of water uncovered and cook till puffy
Put in strainer to drain and cool.(I rinse them under cool water to cool them off quicker)
Cream and beat together (using elect. mixer) the butter, brown sugar, and eggs.
Mix together the flour (unsifted), soda, baking powder, cinnamon, oatmea
add to the creamed mixture, using beater to mix
add the raisins
With a spoon, mix them in ever so lightly
Drop by teaspoonfuls on lightly greased cookie sheets.(I use cooking spray)
Bake them between 350*-360* for 8-9 minutes
Take them out before they get brown
Cool for a couple of minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring to waxed butcher paper to cool completely
Enjoy!

Notes

I sometimes use Tablespoonfuls to make bigger cookies!

I have made these with old fashioned oats and they still turn out great. Leave them sitting on the baking sheet for awhile, because they might not look like they’re done yet. They continue baking on the sheet after you pull them out. Once you can lift them without breaking them apart, then transfer them to the baking sheet.
