Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

March 26, 2019

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Oatmeal Raisin cookies were my husband’s favourite when we lived in California. They aren’t very common in Ireland so my son and I decided to re-create them as a treat for him. I looked up at least 10 different recipes and put together my own version.

Most versions called for vanilla extract but I don’t like it so I left it out. If you want to add it, just add a teaspoon when adding the cinnamon. You can also increase the cinnamon if you are a big fan.

In this recipe I have chilled the cookie dough before baking but you can bake without chilling if you wish. Chilling the dough causes it to spread less when baking so you get a slightly thicker cookie. I’m sure they are equally lovely when baked immediately.

Both boys loved them (even while proclaiming to not like raisins!) and we will definitely be making them again.
