Oatmeal Raisin Cookie

The recipe I used was adapted from:

Things You'll Need

• 1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup dark raisins
• 1/4 cup golden raisins
• 1/4 cup dried cranberries
• 1/4 tsp. baking powder
• 1/4 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. salt

• 6 tbsp. unsalted butter (room temperature)
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
• 4 tbsp. dark raisins
• 4 tbsp. golden raisins

I used Sunmaid's Raisin and Cranberries mix instead of separate raisins and dried cranberries. I also lessen the amount of oatmeal, replaced baking soda with baking powder and omitted the topping.

1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Whisk together 1 cup old fashioned oats, 1/4 cup all purpose flour, 3/4 cup raisin cranberries mix, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
3. In a separate bowl, beat 6 tablespoon room temperature unsalted butter with 1/2 cup brown sugar and  1/4 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add 1 egg, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and beat until well blended.
4. Gradually fold in the oat mixture into the butter mixture.
5. Drop the dough onto parchment paper on baking sheet, 2 inches apart.
6. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown but still nice and soft.

Old-fashioned oat texture

I took a huge bite. Mmmmm...

I love how you can see the oats on the cookie but my bf hates that. I will use the instant oat instead of old-fashioned oat if I am to make this for him next time.

Note: Good recipe.
