RECIPE BY Southern Living

Make a batch of old-fashioned oatmeal cookies even more special by adding chocolate chips and raisins.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup uncooked quick-cooking oats
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (12-ounce) package semisweet chocolate morsels
  • 1 cup raisins

How to Make It

Step 1

Beat butter and sugars at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla, beating until blended.

Step 2

Combine flour, soda, oats, and salt in a small bowl; gradually add to butter mixture, beating well. Stir in morsels and raisins. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto lightly greased baking sheets.

Step 3

Bake at 350° for 8 to 14 minutes or until desired degree of doneness. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.

I made these exactly as written except I only cooked them for about 10 minutes. They didn't even look done when I took them out but when cooled slightly on the baking sheet they were delicious and chewy. A real keep. Thank you for a great recipe.

Awesome

I use self rising flour so I omit the baking soda and salt.

AMAZING. I actually leave out the raisins and add an extra handful or two of chocolate chips. To die for.

I added 1 Tsp of Nutmeg and additional 1/4C of oats, also used 1C of BOTH crasins and rasins. I also used two different types of chocolate chips (1c dark chocolate chips and 3/4 C milk chocolate)... They are amazing! The only trouble is now I can't keep my hands out of the cookie jar! :)

To improve, use less sugar, and add more butter if you want these to sing! Make it a cup and a half, and the cookies will be more like "Tates" famous cookies. Also try adding 1/4 cup of shredded coconut and half a cup of coarsely chopped walnuts. Yum!

I followed the recipe exactly except I used dried cranberries instead of raisins! They turned out absolutely delicious.
