I know these kinds of cookies are a bit controversial for some people – mainly because of one particular ingredient: good old raisins ;) Well, I like them, not eating them a lot anymore but if they are in combination with oats in these Oatmeal Raisin Cookies… so good! Some of the best cookies in the world! For sure!
Well… even though the raisins may not be the most attractive ingredient for some people, there must be quite a lot of fans out there. You can basically find 100.000 different recipes for oatmeal cookies with raisins out there. Not in Germany of course – we decided to ignore these delicious cookies ;) In the US on the other hand, you can find them basically in every coffee shop, supermarket or gas station. I think there is even a food holiday in April for oatmeal cookies ;)
Anyway. I like them a lot. The cookies are normally not too sweet, crunchy on the outside and soft or chewy on the inside. Basically absolute perfect cookies ;) The classic oatmeal raisin cookie has oats and raisins in it. Who would have guessed, right?! ;) Besides that, you can add some more stuff to make these cookies even better: chopped nuts, chocolate or other dried fruits like cranberries or cherries. I actually have a couple of recipes on the blog already… but without the raisins ;) Try these Oatmeal Cookies with Hazelnuts or these Swedish Oatmeal Cookies with Coconut. So good and definitely worth trying!

DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
2. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment. Use a cookie scoop or spoons to place dough portions on the baking sheet and flatten them slightly – leave enough space in between because they will spread a bit. Bake for 10-12 Minutes until the edges are slightly golden in color. Take out of the oven and let cool down a bit on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool down completely. Repeat with the remaining dough.
2. Den Ofen auf 180°C (350°F) vorheizen. Ein Backblech mit Backpapier auslegen. Mit einem Eisportionierer oder Löffeln Teigportionen mit etwas Abstand zueinander auf das Blech setzen und ein wenig flachdrücken. Für 10-12 Minuten backen, bis die Ränder eine leicht goldene Farbe bekommen haben. Aus dem Ofen holen und auf dem Blech etwas abkühlen lassen, dann auf einem Kuchengitter komplett auskühlen lassen. Mit dem restlichen Teig wiederholen.

Enjoy baking!
This recipe is amazing. When folding the raisins and rolled oats under I was at first a bit surprised since the dough seemed too “dry”, but after a bit of mixing the texture turned out nicely :) (I did take only 100g of raisins though) my friend from Belgium approves and she has high standards :))
