Notes
- Read Before You Start: Take a moment to read through the entire recipe, including the Ingredient Notes, to ensure you’re set up for success. Every detail is covered in the post.
- Measure Flour Correctly: To avoid dense cookies, spoon flour into your dry measuring cup and level it off with a knife. Scooping directly from the container can compact the flour, leading to dry cookies.
- Prepare the Cookie Sheet: Line your baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Greasing the sheet can cause the cookies to spread too much.
- Baking Time Matters: Remove the cookies from the oven as soon as the edges are lightly golden. Overbaking will dry them out, so keep an eye on the timer.
- Even Cookie Sizes: Use a cookie scoop (about 2 to 2.5 tablespoons) to portion the dough for consistent cookies. This recipe should make 4-5 cookies.
- Easy Swap: Not a fan of raisins? Replace them with the same amount of chocolate chips for a chewy oatmeal chocolate chip cookie variation.
