Ingredients

  • 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon molasses secret ingredient!
  • 1 and ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup raisins soaked in warm water and blotted dry
  • ¼ cup dried cranberries
  • Optional: 1 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

  • Cream butter + sugars:
  • Use a hand or stand mixer to cream the softened butter with both sugars until smooth (about 2 minutes on medium speed).
  • Add eggs + vanilla:
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  • Incorporate dry ingredients:
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients.
  • Fold in oats + raisins:
  • Stir in the oats until well combined.
  • Add the soaked and blotted raisins (and optional chopped walnuts if desired).
  • Chill the dough:
  • Cover the dough and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (this helps enhance the flavors and texture).
  • Preheat the oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Scoop and bake:
  • Scoop out heaping tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them on a baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
  • Slightly flatten each cookie with your fingers.
  • Bake:
  • Bake for 10 to 14 minutes until the edges are golden and the centers are soft.
  • Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Enjoy these warm, buttery, and cinnamon-spiced oatmeal raisin cookies with a cup of hot cocoa or tea! They’re perfect for snowy days. 😊
