For those who may have dietary restrictions, you can swap the unsalted butter for a dairy-free alternative, such as coconut oil or a vegan butter. If raisins aren’t your cup of tea, feel free to toss in some chocolate chips or chopped nuts instead. Just be mindful of any allergies, especially with the oats, which should be certified gluten-free if necessary.

Crispy Oatmeal Cookies Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups rolled oats (not instant)
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 1/2 cups raisins
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- In a mixer, cream together 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter until fluffy.
- Add 1 cup light brown sugar and 1 cup white sugar to the butter, and cream together until light and fluffy.
- Incorporate 1 large egg and 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract, mixing well.
- In a separate bowl, stir together 3 cups rolled oats (not instant), 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 2 1/2 teaspoons baking soda.
- With the mixer on low, begin adding the oat mixture to the butter mixture, mixing only to combine.
- Add 1 1/2 cups raisins and mix again gently to combine.
- Drop tablespoonfuls of the dough onto baking sheets, leaving at least 2 inches between cookies.
- Press each cookie down slightly with your fingers before baking, as my hint suggests.
- Bake until the edges are browned and crispy, about 8-10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on wire racks, storing them in an airtight container afterward.
