The best Oatmeal raisin and chocolate chip cookie recipe

I have been searching for a really good oatmeal raisin cookie recipe and I finally found it….but added a few things. I hope you make these and enjoy them as much as our family is.

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

2 tsp cinnamon

1 cup unsalted butter (I leave mine on the counter all night or during the day to naturally soften)

1 cup sugar

1 cup dark brown sugar, firmly pressed

2 large eggs

2 tsp vanilla (sometimes I add 3 tsp, more the better )

3 cups oats (regular oats not instant)

1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

1 1/2 cup raisins
Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Mix together; butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla.

Whisk together; flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon and add to wet ingredients. To help the flour from being over mixed I mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients with a wooden spoon. If you mix the flour ingredients to much it will make the cookies flat and harder.

Add chocolate chips, oatmeal and raisins. Mix slowly and not to much.

Use a cookie scoop to on baking sheet. I have three different sized cookie sheets and on the biggest one I have 3 cookies across and 5 cookies down.

Cook for 12-14 minutes. Since I put in 3 baking sheets I rotate the cookie sheets so the cookies cook evenly.

Take out, place on a cooling rack and try not to eat to many ha ha
