How to Make Oatmeal And Raisin Spice Cookie Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 13x9 inch baking dish and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened margarine or butter until light and fluffy.
- Add ¾ cup packed light brown sugar and ½ cup granulated sugar. Beat until well combined and smooth.
- Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground allspice, and ½ teaspoon ground ginger.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in 2 cups rolled oats and 1 cup raisins (or dried cranberries/apricots).
- Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan. The dough will be sticky and may seem like it won't fill the pan completely.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. For chewier bars, bake for a shorter time; for crispier bars, bake for a longer time.
- Let the bars cool in the pan for 3-4 minutes before carefully lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.
- Cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
