Not your average oatmeal cookie!



Double recipe week! If you really know me, you know that I’m addicted to Raisinets…and I mean really addicted! I love the things and eat them by the handful (which is not a good idea because I take way too many!) So honestly, I’m not quite sure why it has taken me so long to make these! Oatmeal raisin cookies are great. Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are awesome. So oatmeal Raisinet cookies have to be out of this world, right?! Guess we’re about to find out!

OATMEAL RAISINET COOKIES

What you need for the cookies:
1 cup (2 sticks of butter )
2/3 cup light brown sugar (packed)
2/3 cup dark brown sugar (packed)
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon table salt
3 cups rolled oats
1 1/2 cup Raisinets
To make the cookies:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla until smooth.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt together.

4. Stir this into the butter/sugar mixture.


5. Mix in the oats and Raisinets.
6. If you have the patience, chill the dough for a bit in the fridge (this helps make the cookies thicker).
7. When ready, make 1 to 1 ½ inch balls of dough and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
 









8. Bake them for 10 to 12 minutes. The edges should be golden but not too brown.
9. Transfer them to a rack and cool (or dive in while they’re still warm and gooey!)
 

ENJOY!!
