Ingredients
Servings
18
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup raisins
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Mix thoroughly to blend dry ingredients evenly.
-
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spoon or spatula just until combined; avoid overmixing to maintain soft, chewy texture.
-
Fold in the raisins carefully to distribute them evenly throughout the dough.
-
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each about 2 inches apart to allow spreading.
-
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookie edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft for a chewy bite.
-
Remove cookies from oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Serve these honey oatmeal raisin cookies with milk or enjoy as a wholesome snack anytime!
-
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
Before you start
Use the rolled oats and all-purpose flour listed in the ingredients. This recipe contains oats but is not an all-whole-grain recipe. Let the melted butter cool before mixing it with the egg. Leave the cookies on the tray for the stated five minutes before moving them. The 27-minute preparation and baking estimate excludes that tray rest, complete cooling and additional oven batches.
