Big and Chewy Oatmeal-Raisin Cookies
As requested by my husband, I made Oatmeal-Raisin Cookies. This was a very easy recipe, especially since I already had all of the ingredients. This cookies required 2 sticks of butter (these are not low-fat cookies!). The recipe did require the use of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. My mixer just has the regular beater attachments, it worked fine but I had to scrap the beaters often. Everything went fairly well until I realized that I had forgotten to add in the brown sugar. I added regular sugar, but completely spaced the brown sugar. I realized this mistake after I had already added the oats and raisins. I tried using the mixer again to blend in the brown sugar, but it was just too thick. So I used my hands and basically kneaded it in. These cookies are meant to be very large. On my first batch (I had to make my batches separately, since I only have 1 cookie sheet) I made the balls too small and they are slightly more crunchy than my second batch which turned out perfect. My husband loves them. They have a nice buttery, oat flavor and are very chewy. Will definitely make again.
