    She always did.  So to me that’s what you do.  It just tastes right to me!  No matter what you add, or plain, these cookies always put a smile on everyone’s face!

    You really have to try them. If you are a reader of the blog you already know how I feel about desserts. No meal is complete without something sweet!  That’s why I adore Grandma’s Oatmeal Chocolate Raisin Cookies!

    I am always up for trying new additions and flavors.  This combination is my absolute favorite.  Actually any combination will do!   My oh my!  These cookies are almost too good!  Just kidding!  There is no such thing!

    When I make these cookies I almost always make a double batch.  They freeze beautifully!

    Ingredients for Grandma’s Oatmeal Chocolate Raisin Cookies

    • oats
    • butter
    • brown sugar
    • flour 
    • egg
    • vanilla
    • baking soda
    • cinnamon
    • salt

    Options

    • walnuts or pecans
    • toffee bits
    • chocolate chips
    • raisins

    How to make Grandma’s Oatmeal Chocolate Raisin Cookies

    Using your handheld or stand mixer cream the butter, sugars, egg, and vanilla together, on medium speed, until smooth. 

    Slowly add the flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together and mix on low until blended.

    Add any combination of raisins, chocolate chips, toffee bits and/or nuts.  Stir with a spoon or on low speed. 

    Dough will be thick. Chill dough for at least an hour to help reduce spreading.

    Form discs of dough about 2 inches wide and ¾-1 inch high.

    Bake until very lightly browned on the edges. The centers will look uncooked and shiny.

    Remove from the oven and let cool on your baking sheet for at least 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

      Isn’t there more sugar to this? White sugar? Seems this was omitted! Every other recp. calls for granulated sugar also.
