How to Make Oatmeal Raisin Cookies Cake Mix

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1/2 cup (1 stick) shortening, 1 large egg, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts. Mix until well combined.
  4. Stir in 2 cups rolled oats and 1/4 cup water. If using a hand mixer, you may need to mix by hand until the dough comes together.
  5. Stir in raisins: 1 cup for a moderate amount, 1 1/2 cups if you love raisins!
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving 1 1/2 inches between cookies.
  7. Gently flatten the tops of each cookie slightly.
  8. Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the tops are pale. For crispier cookies, bake for an additional 2 minutes.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
