Nana's Family Favorite Oatmeal Raisin Chocolate Chip Cookies
"This one particular cookie recipe is universally loved by EVERY SINGLE member of my family."
Equipment
- Baking sheet
- 2 Mixing bowls
- Fork
- Cooling rack
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter (softened)
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- 1 1/2 cup spelt flour
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 2 tbsp. chia seeds
- 2 tbsp. flaxseed meal
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 3/4 cup raisins
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Grease a baking sheet with butter or oil (if you have a stone baking sheet you can skip this step).
- In a medium mixing bowl, smash butter with a fork. Add sugar and mix well.
- Crack eggs into the center of the butter and sugar. Add vanilla and use your fork to smash and mix until everything is well combined.
- In a separate bowl add the flour, oats, chia and flax seeds, baking soda, and baking powder. Stir and create a small well in the center of the mixture.
- Pour your wet ingredients into the well and mix thoroughly.
- Stir in raisins and chocolate chips.
- Scoop about a tablespoon of batter into your hands and roll into a ball. Place balls on a baking sheet and space them about 1-inch apart. You should be able to fit about 20 balls on a standard baking sheet.
- Use a fork to gently flatten each ball. Dip your fork in a cup of water if your batter starts sticking.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes. Makes about 28 cookies.
- Let cool and store in an airtight container. My family prefers to eat these frozen!
