About the Recipe

Those cookies are one of the easiest recipe for a sweet dessert and my daughter loves to make them! It is a prefect activity to do with your kids with hand made reward at the end.

Ingredients

2 cups of dark brown sugar
1 cup of unsalted butter (room temperature)
2 tsp of vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 1/2 cup of all purpose flour
1 tsp of salt
1/2 tsp of baking soda
3 cups of old-fashion oats
2 cups of raisins
1 cup of your favorite nuts (chopped)

Appliances

Oven and silicon mat

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350F, and place silicone mats (or parchment paper) on 2 baking sheets.
In a bowl of a stand mix with a whip attachment (or a hand mixer), beat butter and sugar, until fluffy. Add the vanilla extract, and then add eggs one at a time.

Step 2

In a separate bowl mix together all the dry ingredient (flour, baking soda and salt). Slowly start adding it into the wet ingredients (butter and sugar mixture). Let the mixer run on low and add it continuously with spoon, until all combine.

Step 3

Use a spoon to drop portions of dough onto baking sheet. I also like to use my hands and roll the dough into a ball. Place them on the baking sheet spacing them out. There will be about 12-15 cookies depending on how big you will make them. I use 2 baking sheet to make sure the cookies do not melt together into one big sheet.

Step 4

Bake them for 12-13 min till dark and chewy, however you like them crispier, cook them for 2-3 min longer.
Let them cool down slight on the baking sheet, and then transfer them onto a cooling rack or a plate- let them cool down completely.
