Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups raisins

Method
 

  1. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl, then stir in the rolled oats.
  2. Beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until pale and slightly fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each, then stir in the vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Fold the oat and flour mixture into the wet ingredients until no dry streaks remain, then fold in the raisins.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop 3 tbsp dough per cookie onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart, and bake for 12 to 14 minutes until edges are golden and centers look just set.
  6. Rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, transfer to a wire rack, and serve warm when edges are crisp and centers are still soft.

Notes

These cookies are forgiving and keep well, but they overbake faster than you'd expect. Pull them when the center still looks slightly underdone and let the residual heat do the rest. If you want to prep ahead, the dough holds in the fridge for up to 48 hours and bakes up even thicker from cold.
