Recipe Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your oven is perfectly heated and ready for baking.
-
Grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper. This step prevents the cookies from sticking and ensures easy removal.
-
In a large bowl, cream together butter, sugars, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer for best results. Creaming the ingredients creates a smooth base for your cookies.
-
Add eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition. Incorporating the eggs gradually ensures even mixing and a uniform texture.
-
Combine flour, baking soda, and cinnamon; gradually stir into creamed mixture. Sift the dry ingredients together before adding them to the wet mixture to ensure they are evenly distributed.
-
Fold in rolled oats, raisins, and pecans. Gently fold in these classic oatmeal raisin cookie ingredients until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
-
Drop rounded spoonfuls onto prepared sheets. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie for spreading.
-
Bake for 12 to 14 minutes in preheated oven. Keep an eye on the cookies towards the end of the baking time to ensure they reach your desired level of doneness. They should be golden brown around the edges.
-
Remove to a wire rack and cool completely. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them set and develop the perfect chewy texture.
Now, sit back, relax, and enjoy the delicious aroma filling your kitchen as these Favorite Oatmeal Raisin Cookies bake to perfection. Whether you’re sharing them with friends or enjoying them solo, these cookies are sure to become a new favorite in your recipe collection!
