How to Make Soft Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, ¾ cup packed brown sugar, ½ cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in ½ cup milk until fully incorporated.
  7. Fold in 2 cups chocolate chips, 1 ½ cups rolled oats, and ½ cup raisins (or substitute with ½ cup chopped walnuts or dried cranberries).
  8. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  10. Let cool on the baking sheets for 3-5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
