Recipe Introduction


"These are my all-time favorites. They're a giant version of cookies I grew up eating and still love. They're also one of my most requested cookies by friends and family of all ages."



List of Ingredients




1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
2 cups all-purpose flour
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cups raisins
1 cup roughly chopped walnuts


Recipe



1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

2. Using a mixer and mixing bowl, beat the butter until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the sugar and mix together until smooth. In a small bowl, lightly beat the eggs with the vanilla and add to the butter mixture. Blend well. Add the oats and blend thoroughly.

3. Sift together the flour, salt and baking soda. Add to the butter mixture in three stages, blending well after each addition. Stir in raisins and walnuts.

4. Scoop out large spoonfuls (about 2 tablespoons each) and roll into balls. Place the balls on the cookie sheet, leaving 3 inches between them. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, until the cookies are golden and set. Remove the cookie sheet from the oven and transfer the cookies from the parchment paper to cooling racks. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Freeze for longer storage.

Yield: About 3 Dozen
