Oatmeal Raisin Chocolate Chip Cookies – chewy and packed with goodies! These oatmeal cookies are bound to be a hit!
OATMEAL RAISIN CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
We are talking oats, raisins and chocolate chips. I know some people don’t like raisins in their cookies. Well, I happen to love them. The texture and sweetness. Pair it with chocolate and wrap it all up in an oatmeal cookie dough and there is no stopping after one cookie! They are thick and chewy and oh-so-delicious, especially still slightly warm! I also love the Cranberry White Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies and my delicious Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies.
HOW TO MAKE OATMEAL RAISIN CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES?

In a large mixing bowl of a stand mixer, beat butter for 30 seconds. Gradually add brown sugar and beat until fluffy and light in color. Add egg and vanilla and mix until smooth.

OATMEAL RAISIN CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES RECIPE:
- 1/2 c unsalted butter (1 stick), softened to room temperature
- 2/3 c packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 c all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 and 1/2 c old-fashioned oats
- 3/4 c raisins
- 3/4 c semi-sweet chocolate chips
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, soda, cinnamon and salt). Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl of a stand mixer, beat butter for 30 seconds. Gradually add brown sugar and beat until fluffy and light in color.
- Add egg and vanilla and mix until smooth.
- With the mixer speed on low, mix in the dry ingredients.
- Stir in oats, raisins and chocolate chips.
- Cover the top of the bowl with saran wrap and chill for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
- Scoop the cookie dough onto the sheet. I used two scoop of a medium (1,5 tablespoon) cookie dough scoop per cookie.
- Bake 12 to 15 minutes. The cookies will look slightly underdone in the middle yet browned on the edges. Let them cool on the sheet for 5 minutes. They will continue to bake.
- Transfer onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Cookies were delicious! I substituted gluten free flour and they were a hit.
janet wappel says
Just checking before I make these – in instructions you say to use 2 scoops of a 1-1/2 T. cookie scoop per cookie – so is it a total of 3 T. of dough per cookie? Thank you very much!!
Anna says
Hi Janet! That is correct. I hope you love the cookies!
Carol says
Can I make ahead and freeze the dough? Excited to make them for my honeys birthday!
Anna says
Hi Carol! Yep, you can freeze the dough. I suggest scooping it out into balls and freezing on a baking sheet. That way it will be easier to just pop them onto a baking tray. Hope this helps!

To add about the squirrels, once I got to hold and pet a small flying squirrel that had wandered into the office where I used to work. It was the cutest, sweetest, softest little creature and I was the only person who would touch it. I rescued it because the janitor was wanting to kill it and I wasn’t going to let that happen. So I put the little squirrel in a box, stepped outside and ouila! he or she went scurrying up a tree and then ‘flew’ onto the roof! Then I realized it wasn’t a baby but a small flying squirrel and how lucky I was that it didn’t bite me.
Cheryl says
Im a little confused. The recipe says to add “cream”. That isn’t on list of ingredients so I assume it’s the butter and egg mixture. I hope I’m right because I’m in the middle of making them with my granddaughter right now. Don’t even know if Im sending this message to the right person but if you made them already I figured you’d know. It really should be made clearer for us beginner bakers!:)
[email protected] says
Hi Cheryl! In this recipe “cream” is not an ingredient. It means to cream the ingredients together. I just changed it to beat to make it simple. I am sorry if it caused confusion. Enjoy the cookies!
Kate says
Ok, so we have had a family of flying squirrels invade our attic ! It’s very hard to let them go because , really, aren’t they the cutest???? Sigh , but we cannot have rodents , so say something the husband . It’s unfortunate !
Myrna says
That’s so cute about the baby squirrels! How are they doing now? I’m wild about animals too so I totally understand you–most men just don’t seem to get it. ha ha!
Michelle says
I made these last weekend and loved them!! They turned out perfectly (my cookies were 1 1/2 tbsp. and I baked them for 10 minutes, and got 3 dozen). I loved how full of raisins and chocolate they were! 🙂

Awww, baby squirrels. I love the fun “chirping” sound they make.
