If you&#8217;re a big fan of spicy cinnamon, look for Indonesian or Korintje cinnamon\u2014it packs the most punch. If you prefer a more mild flavor, stick with traditional Ceylon cinnamon.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Combine wet and dry ingredients<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1593427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Oatmeal-cookies-3.jpg?fit=696%2C464\" alt=\"Oatmeal Cookies 3\" width=\"696\" height=\"464\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Lisa Kaminski\/Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Next, add the dry ingredients to your creamed mixture in a few batches. Beat until just combined\u2014and don&#8217;t forget to scrape down the sides of the bowl halfway through. This is a pretty big batch of cookie dough, so have patience. It will take a bit of time to get all the oats, flour, butter and more fully incorporated.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Tip<\/em>: Be careful not to overmix at this stage. Too much mixing here can lead to tough cookies.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Add the mix-ins<\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s time to add in all the tasty mix-ins; this recipe has a whopping 3 cups! Use a spatula or wooden spoon to stir the chocolate chips, raisins and chopped pecans in by hand.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Tip: <\/em>Consider <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-toast-nuts\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-toast-nuts\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">toasting the nuts<\/a> before adding them to the cookie dough. This helps develop the flavor of the pecans. And if you don&#8217;t have pecans on hand, walnuts, almonds (OK, any type of nut) work well as a substitute.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 5: Bake<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1593428\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Oatmeal-cookies-4.jpg?fit=696%2C464\" alt=\"Oatmeal Cookies 4\" width=\"696\" height=\"464\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Lisa Kaminski\/Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Use a cookie scoop to portion out cookies onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Be sure to leave about 2 inches between each cookie since they do spread a good bit in the oven. Bake at 350\u00baF for 8 to 10 minutes\u2014until the edges start to turn golden brown. Once baked, remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.<\/p>\n<h2>Variations of Chewy Oatmeal Cookies<\/h2>\n<p>Oatmeal cookies with raisins aren&#8217;t for everyone. Luckily, though, this oatmeal cookie recipe is pretty darn versatile. As long as you keep the mix-in volume at three cups or less, you should be good to go. Here are a few favorite ideas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Chocolate-cherry:\u00a0<\/strong>Everyone knows that chocolate and cherry is a dessert match made in heaven. Use dried cherries in place of the raisins and try toasted walnuts in lieu of pecans.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Coconut-almond: <\/strong>Chocolate, coconut and almond are a delicious trio. So keep the chocolate chips in this recipe and substitute in toasted almonds and shredded, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-toast-coconut\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-toast-coconut\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">toasted coconut<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cranberry-pistachio:\u00a0<\/strong>This is a classic flavor combination. Skip the raisins and pecans and include dried cranberries and chopped pistachios in their place.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Monster-style: <\/strong>You know <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/monster-cookies\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/monster-cookies\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">monster cookies<\/a>\u2014the everything-but-the-kitchen-sink cookies. Twist this classic oatmeal cookie recipe into a monster cookie by adding M&#038;M&#8217;s, peanuts, butterscotch chips and chocolate chips.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Snickerdoodle-style:\u00a0<\/strong>For some, the sprinkling of cinnamon in these cookies isn&#8217;t quite enough. To make them snickerdoodle-style sprinkle the warm cookies with cinnamon sugar.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Triple-chocolate: <\/strong>Love chocolate? Ditch the nuts and use a cup each of dark chocolate, milk chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate chips.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Chewy Oatmeal Cookies<\/h2>\n<p>When the cookies are totally cool (and after you&#8217;ve sampled a few) store them in an airtight container or cookie jar. They should keep for a week. If you find the cookies are getting a bit too crisp for your liking, pop a slice of white bread into your cookie container. This will make hard cookies soft again.<\/p>\n<h2>Chewy Oatmeal Cookies Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1593436\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Oatmeal-cookies-7.jpg?fit=696%2C464\" alt=\"Oatmeal Cookies 7\" width=\"696\" height=\"464\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Lisa Kaminski\/Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What kind of oats is best for oatmeal cookies?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">Old-fashioned and quick-cooking oats are best for baking cookies. Old-fashioned oats are chewy, nutty and have a flat, full shape. Quick-cooking (also called rolled oats) have been pressed and cut into smaller pieces. Although this recipe calls for quick-cooking oats, old-fashioned oats work just as well if you prefer a heartier, chewier oat in your cookies.<\/p>\n<h3>Why are my oatmeal cookies hard?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">Overmixing is usually the culprit when you end up with dry, tough cookies. Mix the ingredients at a slow speed, or better yet, mix by hand with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon just until the ingredients are combined. Also, when a cookie recipe calls for butter, don\u2019t substitute shortening, which can produce a drier cookie.<\/p>\n<h3>Are oatmeal cookies good for you?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">Oatmeal cookies may appear nutritious compared to other decadent treats, but they still pack plenty of carbs and calories. Just eat them in moderation and you&#8217;ll be good to go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What&#8217;s better than a perfectly chewy cookie full of delicious mix-ins?

First off it's only myself and my wife so I started by halving the recipe.I didn't have Quick Oats so I substituted Maple & Brown Sugar Instant Oats.  Because of that I only used a half portion of white sugar and no brown sugar since it was already in the Instant oats. Also I don't keep brown sugar on hand.I hate molasses so I substituted raw honey and doubled the amount. Not a fan of nuts in any baked goods and didn't have raisins so I eliminated the nuts and substituted a double portion of craisins (dried cranberries) in place of raisins because that is what I had on hand. I also skipped the chocolate chips because I didn't have any and didn't feel like going out just for that. I did not add a substitution for the chips.All I know is they came out perfect. They were not flat. They were dome shaped and they were moist and chewy which I attribute to the honey. They were also extremely flavorful which I expected because I was using flavored Instant Oats.As for some of the previous people that gave this recipe one star all I can think of is they did something wrong. To the person claiming they wouldn't come off the cookie sheet without breaking. Hey! Ever heard of stick free baking sheets? I plucked mine off by hand when they cooled.As for the \"seasoned baker\" claiming they had no flavor and suggesting cinnamon!  Umm, did you read the recipe? Cinnamon is an ingredient. So are the raisins you used \"instead\" of chocolate chips. Just because you are \"seasoned\" at something doesn't mean you are good at it. Oh and why did you refrigerate them? Don't you know that reduces moisture and resolidifies butterfat which disrupts the structure of a cookie? That structure does not return when they reach room temperature as the damage is already done. I bet you keep your tomatoes in the fridge and wonder why the texture and taste is horrible.Why am I being this way in my critique of other reviewers?  Perhaps because I'm a 57 year old guy that cooks and bakes and I am NOT a professional. If I can modify this recipe based on personal taste, ingredients at hand and still have it come out perfect, then I'm sorry, but those others did something wrong.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2017-12-03","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"kids chauffer","givenName":"kids","familyName":"chauffer"},"reviewBody":"Made these with the grandkids.
