How to Make Fruity Oatmeal Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease two baking sheets.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup raisins and 2 tablespoons orange juice.
  3. Microwave for 30 seconds, then let cool completely.
  4. Finely chop the raisin mixture using a food processor or knife.
  5. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup honey, ½ cup packed brown sugar, ½ cup vegetable oil, ½ cup peanut butter, 2 large eggs, the prepared raisin mixture, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  8. Stir in 3 cups rolled oats.
  9. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a stiff consistency.
  10. Roll the dough into walnut-sized balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  11. Gently flatten each ball with a fork.
  12. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  13. Carefully remove the cookies from the oven and flip them over with a spatula.
  14. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  15. Enjoy your delicious Fruity Oatmeal Cookies!
