I’ve been searching for the perfect chewy oatmeal raisin cookie recipe but every one I
tried was either too flat or too cakey. I wanted a really chewy cookie.
 
 
After trying probably four recipes I started thinking of my tried and true favorite
chewy chocolate chip cookie and thinking about how perfectly chewy it was because of
the melted butter in the dough.
 
 
So I started with the base of that dough and after several adjustments on raisins,
cinnamon, and oatmeal I came up with this. This is a keeper!

• Make sure you are measuring your flour correctly. Don’t scoop your measuring cup
directly into the four as this compacts the flour. Spoon the flour into the measuring
cup.
• Melted butter gives the cookies their chewy texture.
• Do not overbake! Cookies will continue to bake as they cool on the baking sheet.
• Each cookie is 1/4 cup. It’s a big cookie and it’s delicious. If you want to make a smaller
version, feel free. Just make sure to bake it for less time.

¾ cup unsalted butter, melted (1½ sticks)

1 cup packed brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 ½ cups old-fashioned oats
1 heaping cup raisins
½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Your cookies turn out so much better with parchment paper. Believe me! Buy
some!

3. Mix flour, baking soda and salt; set aside. (See Note on the proper way to
measure flour)

4. In a medium bowl, cream together the melted butter, brown sugar and white
sugar until well blended. Beat in the cinnamon, vanilla, egg, and egg yolk for
2-3 minutes until light and creamy. Mix in the flour mixture until just
blended. Add the oats, nuts, and raisins. Mix until just blended.

5. Place 1/4 cup balls of dough onto parchment lined cookie sheet and bake for
14-16 minutes. Do not overbake. You can also do smaller balls just bake for
less time. Remember I'm at sea level so if you aren't you may need longer.
The edges should look brown and the centers still slightly soft. Let the
cookies rest on the cookie sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring
to a cooling rack.

RECIPE NOTES
Source: The Girl Who Ate Everything
Make sure when you measure your flour that you do NOT pack it into the
measuring cups. The proper way is to spoon the flour into your measuring cup.
This can make the difference between a fluffy and chewy cookie.
