Yield: 2 1/2 dozen without walnuts, 3 dozen with walnuts
2 1/2 c. AP flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup quick oats (I use old fashioned, they're fine)
1 c. dark brown sugar
1/2 c. white sugar
1 c. salted butter, softened
2 TBS. honey
2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 1/2 c. raisins
1/2 c. walnuts, chopped (optional)
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
Combine flour, soda, salt and oats in a medium bowl and mix with wire whisk, set aside.
In a large bowl, mix sugars with electric mixer.
Add butter and mix to form a grainy paste.
Scrape down sides of bowl, then add honey, vanilla & eggs.
Mix until fully combined.
Add the flour mixture, raisins and walnuts, mix on low until just combined, do not overmix.
Drop by rounded teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheets, 2 in. apart.
Bake for 18-22 minutes or until cookies are light golden brown.
Immediately transfer to a cool flat surface.
Pour milk. Enjoy!
OK, that last line is mine. :-)
My notes:
I never use an electric mixer.
I just put the cookies on a sheet of foil on the counter top when I remove from cookie sheet.
I almost always double the batch and fill up 2 or 3 cottage cheese container with dough and freeze it. Those will each make about 2 dozen FRESH cookies later!
This has been the only oatmeal cookie recipe I make since the first time we tried it.
Hope you like them as much as we do.
