How to Make Old Fashioned Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup raisins and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until raisins are plump. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in 3 cups rolled oats and the plumped raisins.
- Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
