Looking for a quick and easy Oatmeal Raisin Cookie recipe? You will love the balance between the sweetness of the raisins and the spice of the nutmeg, the chewiness of the oatmeal and the crunch of the walnuts. These cookies wont last long because you can never have just one.
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 stick unsalted butter softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar firmly packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs lightly beaten
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 cups uncooked quick or old fashioned oats
- 3/4 cups raisins
- 1 cup walnuts finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- In a large mixing bowl, add softened butter and sugars and beat until completely mixed. Add eggs and vanilla and mix well.
- In a separate bowl mix flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Add to butter/sugar.
- Once well mixed add oatmeal, raisins, and chopped walnuts.
- On an ungreased cookie sheet, drop tablespoon sized dough about 2-3 inches apart. I use a small ice cream style scoop to measure the dough.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes, until the bottom edges of the cookie are starting to turn light brown. Let cool for 2-3 minutes on the cookie sheet, then move to a wire rack to finish cooling.
- Store any leftover cookies in a sealed container.
