Bake thick, bakery-style oatmeal raisin cookies that stay soft and moist for days. This recipe uses classic ingredients and simple steps to achieve the best chewy texture and comforting cinnamon flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 cups raisins

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fully combined.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the rolled oats and raisins until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. For thicker cookies, slightly press the dough balls down.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown but the centers still look slightly soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them set into a chewy texture.

Notes

  • For extra moist oatmeal raisin cookies, use slightly more brown sugar than white sugar in the recipe.
  • If you prefer a stronger spice flavor, increase the cinnamon to 1 1/2 teaspoons.
  • To keep these cookies soft for days, store them in an airtight container at room temperature with a slice of bread or a small piece of apple to maintain moisture.
  • Use old-fashioned rolled oats, not instant oats, for the best chewy texture in these classic cookie recipes.
