My kids always loved oatmeal raisin cookies the best. Especially if they were soft and chewy. This recipe is the same as I always used except for one "surprise" ingredient.
Total Time: Prep Time 20 minutes; Cooking time 30 minutes
Yield: 3 dozen cookies
Source: Homemade recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter
- 1/2 cup chunky apples*
- 1 cup very tightly packed brown sugar
- 1 egg, plus 1 yolk
- 1 1/2 cup rolled oats or quick oats
- 1 cup raisins (opt.)
*I peel, core and chop 4 medium apples, cook in about 1" of water until the apples start to soften, remove from heat, let cool, stir to break down a bit. You want the apples chunky.
Steps:
- Preheat oven 375 degrees F.
- 2. In a small bowl mix flour, baking powder, baking soda salt, cinnamon & nutmeg. Whisk together and set aside.
- In a medium bowl cream butter by hand or mixer and brown sugar together. Add chunky apples (make sure they are cooled) and mix well. Add egg & yolk and stir to combine.
- Add all dry ingredients to medium bowl and stir. Add oats and raisins and stir to combine smoothly.
- 5. Using a cookie scoop, place cookie dough on a greased cookie sheet 2" apart.
- 6. Bake for roughly 9 minutes until the edges start to turn golden brown.
- 7. Let sit for 30 seconds and lift with a spatula onto a platter.
