How to Make The Very Best Oatmeal Raisin Cookies Ever
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup water, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup raisins.
- Set the wet ingredient mixture aside to rest at room temperature for at least 1 hour (or up to 2 hours).
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup Crisco shortening, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in the rested raisin mixture until evenly distributed.
- Using a 1/4 cup cookie scoop (or slightly less), drop rounded scoops of dough onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Gently flatten each cookie with the back of the scoop.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are set. Do not overbake!
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 1 minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional: Add 1 cup of chopped walnuts to the dough for extra deliciousness!
