Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies | Fun Snacks

Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Oatmeal cookie are my favorite cookie, they taste perfect! So, I will have to share this recipe with everyone! : )





Ingredients

1 1/4 cups rolled oats
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin spice
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter, softened (unsalted, or salted)
3/4 cup sugar
2
tablespoons molasses
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup raisins

Directions

Combine the oats, flour, cinnamon, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Beat the butter, sugar and molasses in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla until smooth, about 2 more minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low, add the flour mixture and beat until combined. Stir in the raisins by hand. For the best flavor and texture, cover the dough and chill at least 4 hours, or overnight.

Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Form the dough into 12 balls, about 2 tablespoonfuls each, and arrange 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Flatten with the back of a fork. Bake until the cookies are golden, 15 to 17 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.

Scones

These blueberry scones are the best! They go best with a cup of freshly brewed coffee or tea. : )

(*Remember that you can use whatever fruits you want, dry or not, it doesn't make that big of a difference; just make sure you don't add extra liquids.)

Heat oven to 375° degrees.

Combine: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cut in 1/2 cup butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine 1 egg (beaten) 1/2 cup half and half, 1/3 cup dried cherries, 1/3 cup flaked coconut and 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel.


Add flour to mixture.

Stir just until moistened.
