Cuisine: American
Serves: 18 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly until well blended.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg, vegetable oil, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a consistent cookie dough forms.
- Gently fold in the raisins, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Lightly press down on each cookie dough ball to slightly flatten, as these cookies will not spread much during baking.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- • For extra plump and moist raisins, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes before adding to the dough • Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes to ensure even baking • Don't overmix the dough - mix just until ingredients are combined to keep cookies tender • For a crispier texture, flatten cookies more before baking • If you prefer softer cookies, slightly underbake by removing from oven when edges are just turning golden • Allow cookies to cool completely on the wire rack to develop the best texture • Store in an airtight container with a small piece of bread to keep them soft and fresh
