The Best Thin & Chewy Oatmeal Cookies








8 tablespoons (1 stick) salted butter, room temp
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla or seeds of 1 vanilla pod
1 large egg
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 ½ cups old fashioned oats
3/4 cup raisins (optional)


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or spray lightly with nonstick spray.

Cream butter, brown sugar and white sugar together using electric mixer. Beat in vanilla and egg.

In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add the flour mixture to the butter and sugar mixture and stir until blended. Stir in the oats, followed by the raisins.

Shape the dough into walnut-sized balls, space 2-3 inches apart. Cookies will spread out thin as they cook. Bake for 11-13 minutes or until edges are golden brown.

Allow to cool at least 15 minutes before enjoying. Makes 24.
