Well these cookies have lived up to the title! My family has absolutely loved them! We have a disagreement going though about which is better ~ raisin or chocolate chip!! We are even thinking to try craisin or craisin chocolate chip???
These cookies are soft and flavorful and really are a great oatmeal cookie!
Best ever oatmeal chocolate chip cookie
(found on a blog that I forgot to write down! OOPS!)
- 1 cup butter or margarine softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 3 cups quick oats (or I did 2 cups regular oats)
- 2 cups chocolate chips (or divide your dough and do 1 cup raisins and 1 cup chocolate chips)
OK, the original recipe says that these taste better mixed by hand! I looked away at these directions and used my mixer! So you decide. but the thought of mixing all this by hand wasn't happening! Just remember, we thought they were super good mixed in the mixer!
Mix your butter and sugars together.
Add in eggs, vanilla, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Stir in your flour, then oats. This is where I did do a little hand mixing. I divided my dough in half and hand mixed in my raisins in one side and chocolate chips in the other half. (If you find your raisins are hard, just soak them in warm water while you get the cookie dough made and it should soften them up!)
Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes. They are done when they start turning golden brown in color.
Great on there own, with a glass of milk, or I really wanted to make an ice-cream sandwich with them! YUM all 3 ways!
