How to Make Famous Oatmeal Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, and ½ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground cloves, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 2 cups rolled oats, 1 cup raisins, and ½ cup chocolate chips.
- Drop rounded ¼ cup portions of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 3 inches between each cookie.
- Gently flatten each cookie with a fork.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cookies cool, melt the remaining ¼ cup chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Transfer the melted chocolate to a zip-top bag. Snip a small corner and drizzle over the cooled cookies in a zigzag pattern.
