Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup butter softened
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 cups raisins

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer), combine the butter, oil, sugars, eggs and vanilla and beat on medium speed until creamy and free of lumps.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves and salt. Mix well. Gradually add to the butter mixture and beat on medium speed until just combined. Fold in the oats and raisins.
  • Using a medium cookie scoop, place 1.5-tablespoon-size chunks of batter 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are golden brown. Be careful not to overbake!

Notes

  • This dough freezes great (use within 6 months) and the baked cookies freeze well, too (enjoy within 3-4 months).
  • After baking, store the cookies at room temperature in a sealed container.
  • These make the absolute perfect after-school snack when served warm with a glass of cold milk!
  • Add up to 1/2 cup chopped nuts, such as walnuts, pecans or almonds.
  • I love using sea salt in place of regular table salt in this recipe.
