Oatmel Raisin Cookies

This recipe is basically the one on the canister of oatmeal only tweaked a little.  It also happens to be my personal favorite way to eat oatmeal.... Just kidding!

 

 

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks) room temp
•  3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs, room temp
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 1 tbsp molasses
• 1 1/2 cups AP flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 sea salt
• 3 cups oats (I like quick oats)
• 1 cup raisins

 

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°.  Beat butter and both sugars together until creamy and smooth.
2. In a separate bowl combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; whisk well and set aside.
3. Add eggs, vanilla and molasses to butter mixture; beat well.  
4. Add flour mixture to wet ingredients; mix well.

6. Drop tablespoons of dough onto ungreased cookie sheet.
