Ingredients:
- 2 cups old fashioned oats
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup light raisins
- 1 cup dark raisins
- 3/4 cup walnut pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that it’s ready to go when your cookie dough is prepared.
-
Mix ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the old fashioned oats, brown sugar, all-purpose flour, salt, light raisins, dark raisins, walnut pieces, and vanilla extract. Mix everything together until well combined.
-
Prepare cookie sheet: Spray a cookie sheet with nonstick spray to prevent the cookies from sticking during baking.
-
Drop cookie dough: Using a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto the prepared cookie sheet, making sure to space them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
-
Flatten dough: Lightly dampen your fingers with cold water, then use them to gently press down on each mound of cookie dough, flattening them into 2-inch rounds. This helps shape the cookies and ensures even baking.
-
Bake: Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 12 to 14 minutes, or until they are lightly golden but not overly browned.
-
Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for about 3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This step helps them set and firm up slightly.
-
Store: Once cooled, store your Nutty Oatmeal Raisin Chews in an airtight container to maintain their freshness and keep them chewy and delicious for days to come.
