Oatmeal Raisin Cookies (and Milk)
This version of a cookie classic is my son Paul’s favorite. Served with a little shot glass of milk makes
this the perfect snack or end of meal treat. I use brown sugar which yields a moist cookie with a rich
molasses flavor.
1 cup unsalted butter
1 1/3 cups brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups old-fashioned oats
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 cups raisins
Preheat oven to 325°F. Prepare pans by lining with parchment paper or with Silpat®.
Using an electric mixer beat butter and sugar. Stir in eggs one at a time. Add vanilla.
In separate bowl combine oats, flour, baking soda and salt.
Add flour to mixer until just combined. Stir in raisins.
Using cookie scooper or a teaspoon drop dough a few inches apart onto sheets. Bake for about
10 to 12 minutes until golden brown.
Transfer to wire racks and let stand until cool.
Enjoy with a cup of tea or glass of milk. I like to serve as a dessert with little shot glasses of milk.
Easy! Done! Enjoy!
