The Best Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Recipe

Ranked #14,633 in Food & Cooking, #258,110 overall

This is the Best Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Recipe I have ever Tried.

I love oatmeal cookies. I especially love them with raisins. This oatmeal cookie recipe with raisins is so moist it is hard not to eat them all up.

It makes 72 cookies so it is also pretty economical. It is a good recipe if you are cooking for a crowd or you can put them up for later.

It also calls for 2 cups of pecan halves. That sounds like a lot but it makes them so good and adds good nutrients too.

This Is A Good For You Cookie.

Raisins and pecans help make this a nutritious snack.

This is a good for you cookie. The raisins give it protein, potassium and fiber. The pecans add potassium and magnesium plus other nutrients. The oatmeal is a good source of soluble fiber.

Make these cookies for your family and see if they love them as much as mine do.

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies are really good and they are not that hard to make.

Moist Oatmeal and Raisin Cookie Recipe

  • 3 Cups all purpose flour

Add eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition. Combine flour, baking soda and cinnamon and gradually stir into creamed mixture. Fold in rolled oats, raisins and pecans. Drop founded spoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in preheated oven. Remove cookies to wire rack and cool completely.
