Here's a perfect fall classic cookie. I used this as an excuse to eat cookies for breakfast - it's a healthy cookie, right? Well, the oatmeal was the real justification for cookies for breakfast. I thought it worked!
On a sidenote, the raisins are optional in this recipe and let me say a word about raisins. I usually buy Sunmaid bc they are always good, blah, blah, blah. This week when I went to the store, I guess I was having an out of body experience bc I got generic raisins thinking they would be okay (bc most generic stuff is just fine). Well, friends, I've come to the conclusion that with raisins - just buy Sunmaid! They really are better. So next time I will be spending the few extra cents on Sunmaid and these cookies will be perfecto!
On to the cookies!
For these, you'll need:
- 3/4 cup butter or margarine
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional - I used this)
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves (optional - I didn't use this, but will in the future)
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 2 cups rolled oats
Beat butter with electric mixer for 30 seconds. Lovely, isn't it?
Add sugars, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon (and cloves if using them)
Beat in as much flour as possible. I was able to beat in all the flour but it was tricky! The dough is very thick.
Stir in oats and raisins. Bake in 375 degree oven on parchment paper for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden.
Don't they look yummy? Yummy & healthy! I'm starting the revolution today: cookies for breakfast!
