White Chocolate Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

It’s been a while since I made a good cookie, and the other day I was craving Oatmeal Raisin Cookies like no other.

I wanted to add some chocolate chips to the mix, but I didn’t have any on hand. {criminal – I know.}

I did, however, have some white chocolate chips, and they did not disappoint.

I wanted these White Chocolate Oatmeal Raisin Cookies to be large and soft and chewy.

There is a time and a place for crisp oatmeal cookies, and this was neither the time, nor the place.

I’m also totally classifying these cookies as somewhat healthy since it mostly consists of rolled oats, plus I used a bit of whole wheat flour and plump juicy raisins.

Which means it’s perfectly ok to eat a cookie or two for breakfast.

On account of the oats and stuff…

The trick to getting super plump, soft and chewy oatmeal cookies is chilling the dough.

Once you have the dough prepared place it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, then scoop out the cookie dough onto some parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

I made a batch of cookies with them plumped up nice and tall, then I made a batch that I pressed the dough a little to make it somewhat flat.

Both of the cookies turned out great. Soft and chewy, with a hint of spice and a little nutty.

Who wants a cookie?!
