World’s Best Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Recipe

A soft and chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookie is probably in my top 5 favorite sweets of all time and this is a tried and true recipe that delivers excellent results every time. It’s a hybrid of a cookie recipe from my Grandmother mixed with a few tricks I’ve seen used on Pinterest, and it always results in perfectly chewy, not too sweet, evenly textured perfect cookies.

This is one of those recipes that makes a super sticky dough (Yay Honey!) so you’ll want to chill the mixed dough for at least 30 minutes before you form the cookies and bake them. I usually let the kiddo help me with all the dough mixing before nap time, and then set the dough in the fridge to chill until he wakes up.
