Oatmeal Raisin Chocolate-Chip Cookies

Craving cookies tonight. After another long weekend I wasn't feeling up to it, but this recipe sounded worth it and after I threw in a few twists it was definitely satisfying. They are soft, fluffy, and melt in your mouth. It only took me max, 10 minutes, to have this whipped up and into the oven! You will love these!




Ingredients:
3/4 cup butter, softened
2/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 teaspoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking  soda
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 3/4 cups rolled oats
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
*chocolate chips are optional, but will definitely do the trick if you're craving chocolate and the husband wants oatmeal raisin.

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375° F. 
In a large bowl, cream together butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until fluffy. Stir together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually beat into butter mixture. Stir in oats and raisins and chocolate chips. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake 8-10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown. Cool slightly, remove from sheet to wire rack. Cool Completely.

*I've found mixing with electrical mixing bowls tends to make the cookies less fluffy and soft. You beat out all the air. Mix with a wooden spoon or spatula and don't beat the ingredients to death - guarantee you'll have better cookie turnouts!
