Chewy Oatmeal Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 stick plus 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 cups quick or old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup raisins
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt and nutmeg; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer with paddle attachment, beat butter and sugars on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Reduce speed to low and add eggs, one at a time, and vanilla. Gradually add the flour mixture. Stir in oats and raisins. Drop dough by heaping tablespoons onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake until light golden brown around the edges but still soft in the center, about 12-15 minutes. Makes about 3 dozen large cookies.
