About The Recipe
On gloomy days, these cookies are a magical cure all. Sometimes all you need is a good classic cookie! I mean, these cookies have been a staple bake in our household since I was a little girl. They are definitely a comfort cookie.
And with the weather being cold and just an all around…meh. The energy in the house has kinda been at an all time low.
So, while mixing up a batch of Homemade Spiced Apple Cider, we got the idea to make one of our favorite cookies ever!
Honestly, there is no better way to make a day better than getting in the kitchen and baking some cookies. Especially these oatmeal cinnamon raisin cookies! They’re just the perfect combo of sweet and cinnamon-y. Plus, they barely have enough batter to hold all the goodies on the inside.
So, you know they taste 10x better than the average oatmeal raisin cookie. Trust me, that added cinnamon and pecans are what make these cookies the best thing you’ll ever eat!
What’s even better? You can have warm, delicious cookies in less than 30 minutes.

Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
Now, in the mixer with the beater attachment, beat butter and sugars until creamy. About 3-5 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla.
Add all of the flour mixture from earlier and mix in until well combined.

Using a large cookie scoop, drop the cookie dough onto a lined and greased baking sheet. Press the dough down gently so the cookies are about 1/2 inch thick.
Bake at 375 for 12 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove from the pan and let cool on a wire rack.

Or, you could actually store the baked cookies in an airtight container or freezer safe bag and keep on the counter for a few days, or freeze them!

Expert Tips
- Make sure to set out the butter a few hours before you start to cook. This will allow the butter to come to room temperature and be easier to mix.
- Do not use instant oatmeal for this recipe.
- If you don’t have a cookie scoop, you can use a normal spoon. It’ll just be harder to get all the cookies the same size.
- We used a 2 inch cookie scoop. You can use a smaller one but the baking time will need to be shortened.
- Do not over mix!
