Your best oatmeal rasin cookie recipe?

[HollyDay]

I usually use the recipe on the oatmeal carton. But, dd has asked for a moisturer, different oatmeal raisin cookie.

 

So, what is your best recipe that I could try???

[Wendy Inman]

These are our favorites! I believe i typed this up from an old Taste of Home magazine from my grandma. They are a little crisp on the outside and chewy inside.

 

Golden Raisin Oatmeal Cookies

 

¾ cup butter, softened

1 cup packed brown sugar

½ cup sugar

1 egg

2 tbsp water

1 tsp vanilla extract

3 cups quick-cooking oats

1 tsp salt

2/3 cup all-purpose flour

2 tbsp grated orange peel

1 tsp ground cinnamon

½ tsp baking soda

2/3 cup golden raisins

 

In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugars. Beat in egg, water and vanilla. Combine the oats, flour, orange peel, salt, cinnamon and baking soda; gradually add the creamed mixture. Stir in the raisins (dough will be stiff). Drop by level tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350º for 12-15 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool.

 

Wendy’s note: I have substituted 1 tsp of orange extract for the orange peel or even left the orange out completely and they are still great.
