I don’t know about you, but one of my least favorite cookies are oatmeal raisin. I am embarrassed to admit how many times I have reached for what I think is a chocolate chip cookie and it turns out to be oatmeal raisin. The ultimate betrayal. I was even more skeptical when my Cran-ma offered me oatmeal raisin lookalikes but promised they were made with Ocean Spray Craisins. It was love at first bite. These oatmeal Craisin cookies are a game changer! Soft, sweet, chewy, a little tang- delicious! As an added bonus, the cookies are so simple to make- they are the only cookie I can’t mess up.
Grab a recipe card. You will want to write this down:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) plus 6 tbsp butter, softened
- 3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (or more, I’m not here to judge) of Ocean Spray Craisins
- 3 cups oats (quick or old fashioned, uncooked)
Directions
- Heat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, beat butter, and sugars until creamy
- Add eggs and vanilla; mix well
- Add combined flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt; mix well.
- Add oats and Craisins until combined.
- Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfulls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
- Bake 8-10 minutes or until light golden brown
It is best to enjoy these right from the oven with a glass of cold milk.
