These nut-free oatmeal raisin cookies are warm, chewy, and perfectly comforting, ideal for school snacks and allergy-sensitive households. They combine hearty oats, juicy raisins, and a cozy spice blend for a simple, delicious treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (135g)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (125g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (115g)
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar (100g)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50g)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup raisins (110g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In a medium bowl, beat softened unsalted butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until fluffy and pale, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Beat in the large room-temperature egg and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, folding gently or mixing on low speed just until incorporated. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in the raisins gently to distribute evenly.
  7. Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to drop rounded spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden and centers look set but still soft.
  9. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use softened but not melted butter for best texture. Toss raisins in a little flour before folding into dough to prevent sinking. Do not overmix dough to keep cookies tender. Cool cookies on a rack to avoid soggy bottoms. Silicone mats yield a softer bottom crust than parchment paper.
