Oatmeal Raisin Cookies!

YES! it is getting to be that time again, cookies 2011 is going to be great. I am trying some new recipes & posting a few of my favorites. So look out for those in the future. I have been wanting oatmeal raisin cookies lately & finally I found a good chewy oatmeal raisin cookie recipe, enjoy!





  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt ( only add this if your using unsalted butter)
  • 2 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 1/2 cups raisins      

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, sugar and brown sugar. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture. Stir in oats and raisins.
  2. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees F for 11-12 minutes. ( mine took a little longer like 14-15 minutes, some ovens are just different, so make sure to keep checking the cookies so they don't burn) cool on wire racks.
