Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 cup raisins
- 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using a stand mixer or hand mixer.
Step 2
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Add the vanilla extract and mix again.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Step 4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Step 5
Stir in the rolled oats, chopped walnuts, raisins, and chocolate chips (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 6
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the sheet. The dough can be spaced closely since it will be frozen, not baked at this stage.
Step 7
Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and freeze the cookie dough balls for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
Step 8
Once the dough balls are frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe zip-top bag or airtight container, labeling it with the date. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Step 9
When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place frozen cookie dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 10
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look just set. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Enjoy your fresh-baked chunky oatmeal cookies!
