This is a super moist cookie! The soaking of the raisins and added brown sugar and molasses help to make this a soft and chewy cookie.

How To Make soft & chewy oatmeal raisin cookies

Step 1

The dough will be thick and sticky. Chill the dough for 30-60 minutes in the refrigerator to help keep cookies from spreading.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 350 F. Line large backing sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
Step 3

Take dough out of refrigerator and roll into balls of dough (about 1.5 T per cookie - I used a medium pampered chef scoop). Place about 2 inches apart on baking sheet.
Step 4

Bake for 10-12 minutes until very lightly browned on the sides. Note: The centers will look soft and almost undone. Remove pan from oven and let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
Step 5

*Soak raisins in warm water for 10 minutes, then drain and blot dry them. This will make the raisins moist and plump for your cookies.
Step 6

Baked cookies will stay fresh covered at room temperature for up to 1 week. Baked cookies freeze well up to 3 months. Unbaked cookie dough balls freeze well up to 3 months. Bake frozen dough balls an extra minute with no need to thaw first.
