How to Make Flaky Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the brown sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the raisins, rolled oats, crushed corn flakes, shredded coconut, and chopped walnuts.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded balls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Gently flatten each cookie with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass.
  9. Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
