    Next, add rolled oats and raisins to the cookie dough and mix. Use a cookie scoop to drop dough on to parchment paper lined baking sheet. If you don't have a cookie scoop, you will be using tablespoon sized drops of dough.

    Bake the oatmeal cookies for 10 minutes. Cool for a few minutes and use a spatula to remove the cookies and place them on a wire rack to cool. Let the cookies cool completely and then store them in an airtight container.

    Hint: Use a silpat or parchment paper on cookie sheets to make clean up a breeze!

    Variations

    • Chocolate chips - If raisins seem a little too healthy, or you're not a fan, feel free to add an equal amount of chocolate chips.
    • Nuts - Do you think nuts make oatmeal cookies better? You can add ½ cup of chopped pecans to these cookies.

    Frequently asked questions

    I don't have a stand mixer, can I use an electric mixer instead?

    Sure! You can use a hand mixer and a medium bowl or large bowl.

    How do you store these oatmeal cookies?

    Store these brown sugar cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

    Does brown sugar really make these cookies better?

    I like the molasses flavor of the brown sugar, and I find using it in this recipe makes the cookies more chewy.
