Not sure what has made me crave oatmeal raisin cookies, in the past they have not been a favorite but would eat if that was my only option. I used another recipe and it was okay. Then I decided to try this recipe and OH MY GOODNESS!! It is sooo good. I use golden raisins instead of regular and it rook it to a whole new level of goodness for me! Thank you!!

THIS WILL DEFINITELY BE PLACED IN WITH MY FAVORITE RECIPES THAT IVE COLLECTED OVER THE YEARS. I DIDN’T CHANGE A THING! THANK YOU ! I WILL BE PROUD TO SHARE THIS RECIPE WITH MY FRIENDS.
Oatmeal Raisin Cookies are my absolute favorite and I look forward to making them at Christmas time. This recipe is by far the absolute BEST that I have ever made!!! They are fluffy and super moist. Thank you for sharing your recipe ❤️
I had left a 5 Star review about 8 months ago but I want to say it again. These oatmeal raisin cookies are the very best! I make them frequently. They are easy and delicious. If you follow these directions, they will come out perfectly. Note: I have to bake mine for 12 minutes. Maybe my oven needs adjustment, I don’t know but they are PERFECT!
Thank you so much for coming back to leave another positive comment, I’m so glad you like them!
Way too many oats, after 8 minutes mine were black on the bottom and had zero flavor. All you can taste are oats.
If your cookies are black on the bottom at 8 minutes, no matter what recipe, either your oven is running way too hot, or you need to move the rack up to the middle of your oven. There is no reason any cookie should be burnt black on the bottom after 8 minutes. Also they are oatmeal cookies, so this recipe, by Quaker Oats, does highlight the oats part. 😉
These are the best when you substitute craisins for the raisins. Yummy!!
Oh, I LOVE that idea!
Can I freeze these oatmeal cookies?
Of course, just like any drop cookie!
My family’s favorite cookies.
Fantastic!! I only used a heaping 1/2 cup of raisins and it was perfect!
Simply delicious!
And pretty darn easy to make as well.
