What a beautiful weekend it was! We had a little fog, but for the most part, it really did feel like springtime. I did some springtime crafting and I also made some delicious chewy oatmeal raisin cookies, so today I am sharing my best oatmeal raisin cookie recipe.

It is an adaptation from a few recipes, changing up the recipe over the years is the best way to make your favorites. These cookies are filled with oats and raisins and they stay fresh for a while too! Soft and chewy cookies are great as a gift for a friend too! Try these with a nice cup of my favorite hot chocolate for a cozy treat.

After modifying several recipes, this really is the best oatmeal raisin cookie recipe I have found.

This oatmeal raisin cookie recipe with quick oats can be put together easily and the cookies freeze well too after baking. It is one of my husband's favorite cookie recipes.

Hi Friends! If you are a cookie fan like I am, you bake cookies year-round. These are one of my husband's favorite cookies, so I make them several times of the year. It has taken me several iterations to come up with the perfect oatmeal cookie recipe.

 

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

For some fun oatmeal raisin cookie variations:

Oatmeal raisin bars - Press dough into ungreased 13" x 9" baking pan. Bake 25 - 30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool before cutting into squares.

Oatmeal raisin pecan cookies - add ½ cup chopped pecans to the batter before baking.

Don't forget to pin this - you are going to want to make these!

Best soft oatmeal cookies

 

 

This weekend we went to our first festival of the season in our new city. It was a lovely day to be outside near the water. We went to a farmers market and found some great spring offerings. I also did some crafting with my mother and I took her some of these cookies in a basket.

    Oh, yummy! I love oatmeal raisin cookies because I can pretend that they're almost like granola bars and therefore healthy 🙂

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
