Oatmeal Cookies (with raisins and/or chocolate chips)
Adapted from Joy of Cooking by Sydney Leake
Servings 4 dozen
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cup whole-wheat pastry flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 sticks butter 16 tablespoons, softened (a little colder than room temp)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 3 cups rolled oats
- ¾ cup raisins
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In another large bowl, use an electric mixer (or stand mixer fitted with a whisk) to cream the butter and sugar together. Mix in the eggs and vanilla.
- Turn the mixer down to low and slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture. Stop and use a spatula to scrape the sides as needed. Fold in the oats.
- Divide the dough in half between the two bowls. Fold the raisins into one half and the chocolate chips into the other half.
- Spoon out the cookie dough about 3 inches apart onto an ungreased baking sheet (lined with parchment, if desired) and bake one sheet at a time until golden brown, 8 to 12 minutes. Alternatively, you can bake both sheets at the same time on convection.
