Chewy Oatmeal Cookies Recipe

Ingredients:

• 125g (½ cup) butter, softened
• ½ cup brown sugar
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ cups rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt (preferably flaky)
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• ¾ cup seedless black raisins
• ½ cup walnuts, crushed
• ½ cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix dry ingredients – In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch. Set aside.
3. Cream butter and sugars – In a separate bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg until well combined.
4. Combine wet and dry – Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring with a spatula or your hands until fully incorporated.
5. Fold in add-ins – Mix in the raisins, walnuts, and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
6. Shape the cookies – Scoop out dough balls about the size of a golf ball, spacing them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Gently press each cookie down slightly.
7. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges turn lightly golden.
8. Cool & enjoy – Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
