Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 1/2 cup Rolled Oats old-fashioned
- 1/4 cup Sugar brown
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Cinnamon optional, but recommended for added warmth, ground
- 1 cup Raisins
Wet Ingredients
- 1 Large Egg
- 1/2 cup Applesauce unsweetened
- 1/4 cup Honey
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, honey, and egg until well combined. Stir in the applesauce and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Stir in the rolled oats and raisins.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight) to allow the flavors to meld and the dough to firm up.
Bake the Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll the chilled dough into 1-inch balls. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Flatten each cookie slightly with a fork.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Cool and Enjoy
- Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
- For extra chewy cookies, use old-fashioned rolled oats instead of quick-cooking oats.
- Don't overmix the dough! Overmixing can lead to tough cookies.
- Chilling the dough is crucial for preventing the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
- If you prefer a sweeter cookie, feel free to add more brown sugar or honey. You can also add chocolate chips for a delicious variation!
