Small-Batch Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Sometimes you want a big batch of cookies that makes several dozen, then sometimes you only want just a few cookies. This small-batch chewy oatmeal raisin cookies are just the recipe you need.
Servings: 6 cookies
Cost: $3
Ingredients
- ½ cup regular oats
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons softened butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- ⅓ cup raisins
- ¼ cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Mix together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl and set it aside.
- Place the butter and sugar in a bowl. Mix for 1-2 minutes until they are well combined. I like to do this with an electric mixer, but it can also be done by hand.
- Add the egg yolk and vanilla then mix this to combine. Be careful not to overmix.
- Next, add the dry mixture, oats, raisins, and walnuts if you are using them. Again, mix only to combine.
- Scoop the cookies onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place it in the fridge and let the cookie balls chill for 30 minutes. While it is chilling, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Bake for 10-14 minutes. The edges should be a light golden brown. Remove the pan from the oven. You can enjoy them right away or let them cool.
