CHEWY OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES
Ingredients
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup toasted wheat germ
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed light-brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups raisins
- 3/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Stir together oats, flour, wheat germ, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl and set aside.
- Put butter and sugars in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- Mix in eggs and vanilla until combined.
- Add dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Stir in raisins (and walnuts if you are using them).
- Using a 2" Cookie Scoop, drop dough onto baking sheets about 2" apart.
- Bake about 14 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through.
- Take cookies out of the oven. The cookies should be golden and look a little underdone in the center. Let cookies cool on baking sheets.
