Prep time: 45 minutes
Cook time: 13 minutes
Makes: 26-30 cookies

 

Ingredients: 

1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 Tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 Tablespoon molasses
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon (or more to your liking!)
½ teaspoon salt

1 cup raisins

 

Instructions: 

  1. Cream the room temperature butter and both sugars using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until smooth - about 2 minutes.

  4. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. 
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients - mix on low until combined.

  7. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes. 
  8. Preheat the oven to 350º. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. 
  9. Roll 2 Tablespoon sized balls of dough and place 2 inches a part on baking sheets.

  • Oatmeal raisin cookies are my favorite cookie. I can’t wait to try this recipe. I loved The Rocking Chair Profit and passed it on to my mother, who will also pass it on. Thank you so much!
