Recipe Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring it’s nice and hot for baking those delicious cookies.
-
Prepare baking sheets: Coat two large baking sheets with cooking spray, ensuring an even distribution to prevent sticking.
-
Mix sugars, margarine, egg, and vanilla: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, light brown sugar, reduced-calorie margarine, egg, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer on medium speed to beat the ingredients until smooth and creamy, creating a delightful base for your cookies.
-
Incorporate flour and oats: With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the all-purpose flour and old-fashioned oats to the mixture. Beat until well combined, forming a thick and hearty dough.
-
Fold in raisins: Gently fold in the raisins into the dough, ensuring they are evenly distributed for a burst of sweetness in every bite.
-
Portion and place on baking sheets: Using a tablespoon, drip the cookie dough mixture onto the prepared baking sheets. Aim for scant tablespoons, leaving some space between each cookie to allow for spreading during baking.
-
Bake until golden brown: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cookies are puffed up and golden brown around the edges, emanating a tantalizing aroma throughout your kitchen.
-
Cool and enjoy: Once baked to perfection, allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 3 minutes to set. Then, transfer them to wire racks to cool completely, ensuring they firm up for the perfect texture.
-
Serve and savor: Once cooled, these delectable oatmeal raisin cookies are ready to be enjoyed. Serve them alongside a glass of milk for a classic treat, or pack them for a delightful snack on the go.
This recipe not only satisfies your sweet cravings but also aligns with a healthier lifestyle, making it a win-win for all cookie enthusiasts, including Spooky Girl!
