Just like Chocolate Chip Cookies, these oatmeal raisin cookies freeze perfectly and are a great addition to a lunchbox.
Oatmeal and raisins take main stage in this cookie recipe with just a hint of cinnamon. To top things off, these cookies are the perfect combination of soft and chewy!
How to Make Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Cookies are generally made the same way, no matter if it’s Funfetti Cookies, or our favorite Chocolate Crinkle Cookies.
While oats are often enjoyed for breakfast in a bowl, in Banana Breakfast Cookies or as Blueberry Baked Oatmeal they make a perfect addition to this oatmeal cookie recipe!
How Long to Bake Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Oatmeal Cookies should bake for about 10 minutes. If baking from frozen (directions for freezing below), you will need to add 2-3 minutes to bake time. For softer cookies, be sure that you do not over bake!
How to Store Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
If you are lucky to have cookies leftover, after the first wave of hungry family hits oatmeal cookies will keep in an airtight container for 2-3 days on your counter or pantry.
Can You Freeze Oatmeal Raisin Cookies?
Baked Oatmeal Raisin Cookies will last in an airtight container in the deep freezer for 4-5 months. You can freeze these oatmeal raisin cookies before baking too! I actually love doing this because you can have freshly baked cookies in minutes. I suggest dropping by spoonfuls on a parchment lined pan and freeze. Once frozen, transfer to a freezer bag or container. To bake from frozen, simply take out as many as you need and to allow cookies to sit at room temperature for about a few minutes prior.
These really are the ultimate oatmeal raisin cookies because they’re so soft and chewy. They contain a higher ratio of brown sugar to white sugar, as well as molasses and raisins. Because of this, they are higher in moisture than mosts cookies and will be generally softer and chewier (of course just be sure not to overbake).
