  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 375°F. Spray cookie sheets with cooking spray. In large bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar and butter; beat until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and egg; blend well. Add flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; mix well. Stir in oats, raisins and nuts.

    Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto sprayed cookie sheets.
  • 3
    Bake at 375°F. for 7 to 10 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets.

  • Use old-fashioned rolled oats instead of quick-cooking rolled oats for chewier cookies.
  • If raisins are likely to cause a revolt in your house, try using a different kind of dried fruit. Chopped dried apricots, blueberries, cherries, cranberries, dates or figs—or even mixed fruit bits—can be intriguing (and appealing) flavor twists to satisfy raisin haters.
  • Oatmeal cookies freeze well. Transfer the cooled cookies to airtight containers and freeze them for up to twelve months. For grab-and-go desserts and snacks freeze two or three cookies each in resealable plastic freezer storage bags.
  • The origins of the oatmeal raisin cookie can be traced back to Scottish oat cakes that were eaten when extra bursts of energy were needed. However, in the United States, the first published recipe came along in 1896, in Fannie Merrit Farmer’s “Boston Cooking-School Cook Book.”
