Method 1 of 3: Classic Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
This traditional oatmeal cookie, flavored with cinnamon and topped with raisins, is a great after-school snack. The texture of the inside is chewy and the outside is crunchy. Serve with a glass of milk!
Step 1. Preheat the oven to 177 degrees Celsius
Step 2. Beat butter and sugar
Place the butter, sugar, and palm sugar in a large bowl. Using a mixer, beat until the mixture is well combined and becomes light and fluffy. This will take about 3 or 4 minutes.
Using butter that has been mashed will help the cooking process. When the butter is cold, you can soften it by microwave it for 15 seconds
Step 3. Add eggs and vanilla
Keep the mixer on and keep beating until the eggs and vanilla are well combined.
Step 4. Mix dry ingredients
In a separate bowl, mix flour, salt, cinnamon, baking soda and oatmeal until smooth.
Step 5. Put the dry ingredients into the wet mixture
Pour 1/3 of the dry mixture into the bowl while the wet mixture is still beating with the mixer on low speed (or stir with a spoon) until smooth. Do the same with the second and last 1/3 of the dough.
Don't beat with the mixer on high speed – just go slow! That way the cookies will be crispy and delicious, not hard
Step 6. Add the raisins
Finally add 1 1/2 cups of raisins, do not stir too hard or too long.
Step 7. Print cookies
Use a cookie cutter or a measuring cup or spoon to flatten the cake onto a non-stick baking sheet. Leave a gap of 5cm between each cake, as they will expand when baked. You'll get about two dozen cookies, so it's a good idea to use two pans or add one recipe at a time to the batter.
- If you don't have a non-stick pan, grease the pan with cookies. You can also line the baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make the cookies bigger if you want! Use a 1/2 cup measuring cup to score giant oatmeal cookies that will be soft in the center and crunchy on the edges.
Step 8. Bake cookies
Place in the preheated oven and bake for 10 - 12 minutes, until the edges are browned. Remove from oven and let cool.

Step 5. Put the dry ingredients into the wet mixture
Pour 1/3 of the dry mixture into the bowl while the wet mixture is still beating with the mixer on low speed (or mix by hand) until smooth. Do the same steps with 1/3 of the second and last dough until you don't see any more lumps of flour in the dough.
Don't stir too long or too hard! Cookies will be hard. Use a wooden spoon or mixer on low speed to mix the dry and wet ingredients
Step 6. Add chocolate chips
