Mormor's Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Soft, chewy oatmeal raisin cookies!
Ingredients
- 3 cups instant rolled oats
- 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
- 1 cup raisins
- 1 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup apple butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Spread the oats and walnuts together on an ungreased baking sheet for 5 to 7 minutes, or until lightly browned and set aside.
- In a small saucepan, combine the raisins and 1 cup water. Bring to a simmer over low heat and cook until the raisins are plumped about 10 minutes. Drain, discard the liquid, and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the sugar, apple butter, eggs, oil, and vanilla with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and cloves. Stir the flour mixture into the apple butter mixture with a spoon.
- Stir in the reserved oats, nuts, and raisins, and mix well.
- Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls, about 2 inches apart on baking sheets. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until lightly browned but still slightly soft. Once cool to the touch, transfer to a cooling rack to cool.
Notes
You can also make these cookies large, using a 2-tablespoon scoop. To do so, you'll want to extend the baking time by a few minutes.
