Ana’s Oatmeal Cookies with Raisins

Happy Holiday’s everyone! Today’s recipe is from Ana and it is her delicious raisin cookies with oatmeal. We named these cookies tongue-in-cheek because of the plethora of raisins – it seems there are more raisins than oats in each cookie and that is not a bad thing (unless you dislike raisins – sorry!) This recipe is pretty easy to prepare and bakes quickly, so there is no reason to not make a batch for some tasty snacking or to share. So enough of my babble, let’s get baking!

Ana's Oatmeal Cookies with Raisins

Prep time: 15 mins

Cook time: 20 mins

Total time: 35 mins

Serves: 24

Ingredients

½ cup butter, softened
½ cup light brown sugar
¼ cup white sugar
1 egg
1 cup of flour
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp milk
1 pinch of salt
2 cups oats (1 cup coarsely pulsed in a food processor)
¾ cup of raisins

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and prepare the baking trays with grease, silicone mats, or parchment paper.
In a small bowl, sift together the flour, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda and set aside.
In an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugars, mixing well.
Add the egg, stirring into the butter/sugar mixture completely.
Incorporate the sifted dry ingredients until just wet.
Stir in the milk.
Add the oatmeal and finally fold in the raisins.
Place the dough with teaspoons on the baking trays and bake for about 20 minutes or until they are golden brown. If you want them crisp, leave them for 20 minutes or if you want them a little soft, leave them for less time but until lightly browned.
Note: Substitute chocolate chips for the raisins to make a delicious variant!
