The classic oatmeal raisin cookies you grew up loving just got sweeter…and better!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup shortening
  • 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1-1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 2-3/4 cups quick-cooking oats, uncooked
  • 1/2 cup golden raisins
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 3/4 cup white chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line several cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a medium-size bowl. Set aside.
In a bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter, shortening, and both sugars on medium speed until combined. Add the eggs and vanilla; mix until light and creamy. Add the flour mixture and mix until just incorporated. Add the oats, raisins, and chocolate chips; mix well.
Drop the dough by rounded tablespoonfuls (2 Tbsp per cookie) 1-1/2" apart onto the lined cookie sheet. Bake 14-15 minutes, or until light golden brown. Cool completely.
