Slice-and-Bake Oatmeal Raisin Cookies Brian W. Ferry

Adding whole wheat flour ups the nutritional value and adds a nice nutty flavor.

Ingredients

Makes 4 dozen cookies

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup (packed) light brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups old-fashioned oats
2 cups raisins
  1. Step 1

    Whisk both flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat butter and both sugars on high speed until light and creamy, 2-3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating to blend and scraping down bowl between additions. Beat in vanilla.

    Step 2

    Reduce speed to low. Gradually add dry ingredients; mix just to combine. Fold in oats and raisins.

    步骤3

    Divide dough between 2 large sheets of parchment paper. Using paper as an aid, roll up each piece of dough into a 1 1/2" diameter log. Wrap in plastic; freeze for at least 4 hours and up to 3 weeks.

    Step 4

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Unwrap dough and cut into 1/2"-thick rounds (return unused dough to freezer); place 2" apart on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.

    Step 5

    Bake cookies until edges are golden brown, 15-18 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool.

    Step 6

    DO AHEAD:Cookies can be baked 2 days ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.

  • These cookies are delicious and easy to put together. They disappear in our house very quickly! As we are trying to reduce sugar intake, I half the amounts for the white and brown sugars. I add cinnamon to the dough as well. I use less raisins due to a family preference. This time I added about 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts. Chilling in the fridge for an hour or two gives the same results as freezing but allows you to slice the dough more easily. I bake them for about 13- 15 minutes and they come out soft every time, perhaps due to using less sugar.

  • These are delicious cookies. You look like a superstar whipping these out of the freezer on the last min. I used dried cranberries instead of raisins.

  • Starting from fresh (not frozen dough) about 13 minutes and I added pecans for half the raisins.

  • I was not able to slice the dough. When I tried to cut slices big chunks came off at a time. I ended up rolling the chunks together into a ball and then flattening it. The baked cookie tasted good but I would not make this again.

  • These were delicious! I substituted1cup of dried cranberries, and added 1/2 cup of chopped pecans. Thanks for the suggestion to bake for 15 minutes only. They came out of the oven REALLY soft, but firmed up nicely in 5 minutes.

  • I totally agree with A Cook's review. I also halved the raisins and added a cup of chocolate chips. We didn't have whole wheat flour on hand, so I just used all-purpose flour. Also, agree with not baking them for more than 15 minutes.

  • Really good recipe. Halved the raisins and added a cup of chocolate chips. Even better! Don't cook longer than 15 minutes unless you want really crispy cookies.
