Sure, we could bake up a batch of oatmeal cookies, with no add-ins, or thin & crispy oatmeal cookies, or even oatmeal chocolate chip cookies (best of both worlds, tbh), but when we need that nostalgia, nothing will do but oatmeal raisin.
Ingredients
1 c. (2 sticks) butter, softened
3/4 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
3 c. quick oats
1 1/2 c. raisins
Direction
Preheat oven to 350° and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add egg then vanilla and mix well.
In another large bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add to wet ingredients and mix until just combined then stir in oats and raisins (if your dough seems to dry and won't hold together, add 1 tbsp. water at a time until it just holds together).
Scoop dough onto baking sheets about 2” apart. Bake until set, 12 minutes.
