Classic Oatmeal Raisin Cookies are soft and chewy and have been a part of my life since childhood. Nothing fancy or complicated, just pure homemade goodness – a classic cookie.
Not only are these Classic Oatmeal Raisin Cookies one of my favorites, they are also my husbands. I don’t make them nearly enough and I really should. In fact, I cannot believe I have yet to post it here on the blog! I have always used the recipe from under the lid of the Quaker Oats container. It’s the best. Why mess with the best?! I’ll admit I have used dried cranberries from time to time in place of the raisins.
It is the one cookie that both my girls do not care for and that’s good news for my husband – more for him! Ha!
Bake up a batch of these Classic Oatmeal Raisin Cookies and enjoy them with an ice cold glass of milk!
Tips for Classic Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Be sure your butter is at room temperature when making these cookies. I like to combine all of the dry ingredients (except for the raisins) and give them a whisk together before adding to the wet ingredients.
If you don’t have raisins, dried cranberries work very well. Add chopped pecans or walnuts if you like.
