    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.

    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.

    Want to make meal planning easy?

    Have you heard about Eat At Home Meal Plans? If the cost of eating out or the decision of what to make for dinner each night is stressing you out, then you must try these. When you sign up, you get access to four separate meal plans each month (Traditional, Wholesome Traditional, Slow Cooker, and No Flour/No Sugar). All you do is print the plans, color-coded grocery lists, and recipes you want for that month. Don't worry, there are lots of options, so even picky eaters will find something they like.

    Then when it is time for dinner, make that night’s recipe (choices include make-ahead, freezer meals, slow-cooker recipes, and other time-saving strategies).

    That's it! Dinner is on the table and you can enjoy a home cooked meal with the family – without the stress!

    We all have more important things to do than meal planning. Let someone else do it for you with Eat At Home Meal Plans. Monthly, quarterly and annual plans are available.
