In my book, these are the absolute easy oatmeal cookies to bake. Even if you never baked cookies before you can quite confidently pull these off. You don’t need any stand mixer or any fancy gadget. No need to wait to soften the butter! You see what I mean, EASIEST Oatmeal Raisin Cookies, without compromising on flavor or texture.
What do you need for the Oatmeal Raisin Cookies?
The ingredient list is very basic and you can adjust the spices as per your liking. None of the spices are mandatory. Butter: YES, you need butter for these cookies. BUT you don’t have to wait to soften to that perfect room temperature. NOPE. We will melt the butter. Brown Sugar: Brown sugar adds a very interesting richness to the cookies. You can use granulated white sugar too if you prefer that. Eggs: I use 2 eggs. I haven’t tried eggless version but will try soon and if it works out, will update this post with the substitute. Rolled oats: Plain rolled oats is what you need and I used most of it along with little bit of flour. All purpose flour: You can use wheat flour too. Raisins: The cookies will be called Oatmeal Raisins Cookies without raisins.
FOR FLAVORS: All these flavors that I added are optional.
Molasses: Molasses is why the color of the cookies turned out so rich and molasses adds a stunning a flavor too. But, it’s optional. Cinnamon powder: Adds a lovely warmth to the cookies! Vanilla Extract: Again, optional but who doesn’t love a hint of vanilla in cookies.
What makes these Cookies EASY?
No fancy gadget, just a pan with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula is all you need.No softened butter, instead melted butterThe dough needs no chilling at all
My husband is a big fan of these cookies. He is not a baker but most days when I am a little too tied up, he just bakes these cookies on his own. It’s that easy! With more oatmeal and less flour in the dough, these cookies gives you less guilt. It’s not a bad option for occasional breakfast too, when you want to take a break from oatmeal and have cookies for breakfast in stead. I figured it’s time I record it in my blog. I hope you will give these cookies a try. Trust me you will love it.
