Chewy Oatmeal Cookies Recipe

[@softness.in.healing]

John!! I used your decadent devils food chocolate cake recipe to make my sisters baby shower cakes. For 70 people! I made 10 cakes, layered them and had chocolate fudge ganache in between the layers, with your cream cheese frosting on the outside. I watched your video with each cake batch. And I got 70 compliments that this was the BEST cake they had ever eaten…and the best part…THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME BAKING EVER 🎉❤ you’re the best!!!! I wish I could attach pictures bc I also decorated them like a boss 🎂

[@SherriSenel]

I'll have to try it! That's my experience with his tiramisu and key lime pie recipes. They are both a family favorite! ❤

[@DjMakurimaru]

👏👏👏👏very believable 😂

[@lynnpetti3817]

Having a good chocolate cake in your repertoire is gold. Good for you.

[@OopsyDaisy477]

I love oatmeal cookies and your idea to soak the raisins in rum is a GREAT idea!!! I will try this recipe!!!

[@peggy7966]

I now, thanks to you, John, can never use a whisk without saying "whisk, whisk, whisk." I think of you fondly every time I bake.

[@lawtonpelfrey6606]

RECIPE ALERT!!! If you print the recipe for these Chewy Oatmeal Cookies it says "one large egg" - in the video John says "two large eggs". I made these cookies using the printed recipe and they were dry, awful and crumbly. I bought new ingredients, weighed everything and hoped for greatness. I read through the recipe again and then watched the video again, and there it was. TWO EGGS - not one.

[@AnnaAliciaTx]

​@@lawtonpelfrey6606 Thanks! I see that now after you pointed it out

[@cynthiasuarez9133]

My sister would add cinnamon, nutmeg and shredded coconut and pecans to her oatmeal cookies. They were amazing.

[@lindamachado5687]

All of the above, and chopped dates! Much better than raisins!

[@grahamhynds]

Made these with my 5 and 7-year-old and they turned out great! 10/10. We substituted 1 cup of raisons for 1 cup of chocolate chips. Chilling before cooking is key to getting them nice and chewy.

[@kellylarocque829]

Huge fan. Even my now 2 year old says “baking” when he wants to sit with me and watch!

[@kellylarocque829]

I should also say, it’s nice to watch while I breastfeed my 4 month old too. One day we will all be baking using your recipes

[@sannepieterse9604]

So cute 😊

[@AZSH.TRACKZ]

Adorable 🤭♥️

[@ellehough2746]

Dear John - I made these cookies and I put chocolate chips instead of raisins into them and they turned out to be some of the best cookies I’ve ever ever baked!! Thank you so much!! I just purchased your book and I wish you continued success!! ❤

[@222NancyG]

John...my mom made the BEST oatmeal cookies and she used instant vanilla pudding in them! They were soft and tasty! I make them every year for Christmas...or any time we get a hankering for them

[@sallyskinner461]

Sounds interesting could you please share your recipe?

[@Agrillot6]

Sounds like a lot of extra chemicals that aren’t necessary.

[@hokuponopono4415]

​@@Agrillot6hmmm. Good point. Had to think a bit. Does sound delish, so perhaps for special occasions...

[@donnaleesalerno]

​@@Agrillot6 I don't understand.

[@EM-mw2qr]

​@@donnaleesalernoNeither do I.

[@WendyP1965]

Make them taste even better by browning the butter. The taste is beyond amazing!

[@mdc2312]

Excellent John! I so appreciate the explanations! Oatmeal cookies are my favorite. You have turned me into a baker and the purchase of a scale has greatly improved my outcome! Thanks!!

[@zarab3750]

I just want to say how happy I am to have found this channel!!!!! Love this guy.

[@jswmjswm6715]

Me too❤

[@Angelicus-p5p]

My mother always made the oatmeal style chocolate chip cookies, not the plain ones, and to this day it's the only way I like oatmeal. She thought if we were going to have something less healthy then she would make it a bit more healthy by adding oatmeal.She even subbed a half cup whole wheat flour for regular. Every little bit helps. And her add-ins were chocolate chips and coconut. I will try your version, thanks.

[@TheFishFreak98]

This is such a good recipe! I added a change. Instead of butter substituted for 1 apple sauce & a bit of oil. Cut up an apple. Everything else was the same. Chilled in the fridge for an hour, and they are awesome. 😊

[@conniepharr7426]

I will choose an oatmeal raisin over a chocolate chip cookie any day. Sometimes I leave out the raisins and add toasted pecans and coconut, makes a great cookie if you like coconut

[@bridgetbatt]

Wow. Those were good! I reduced the sugar, slightly, and they were perfection.

[@9114utube]

I also reduced brown sugar to 1/2C yet I think I’m sacrificing the “chewiness” factor

[@pandoraeeris7860]

Dried cranberries are an ah-mazing substitute for raisins!

[@alexp601]

Why did I read that in John's voice? 😆

[@mariatorres6271]

Does the cranberries has to soak in water too?

[@ntsikincomanzi3433]

Can I soak the cranberries

[@mitzisb05]

@@mariatorres6271I never soak mine.

[@fiddlersthree8463]

@@mitzisb05 Nor do I soak the raisins. In my opinion, they become soft and mushy, and not at all what I expect in an oatmeal cookie.

[@janenichols3880]

I made these today! I didn’t use raisins but I used chopped dates and chopped pecans! They were stellar! Thank you for the inspiration!❤ Yum!❤

[@sannehansen4156]

Made the dough yesterday and just baked them, they taste amazing

[@Narvan.]

Hi👋 did you make them based on the measurements from the recipe card on the blog? or the measurements stated in the video? cause the amounts (of flour, butter, etc.) are totally different and I don't know which one to use...

[@samimc52]

@@Narvan. I used the one from the website. Turned out ok.

[@Narvan.]

@@samimc52 Thanks 😍

[@patriciajones5907]

I’ve been baking oatmeal cookies for 60 years! This video goes to show you you can learn something new every day! Wonderful tips! Can’t wait to make a batch of these yummy cookies! And, I will definitely be soaking my raisins 😉!

[@debbikelley2357]

I love your recipes. You are my go to. I like using dried cranberries in my oatmeal cookies. And they stay chewy

[@aliyagutz]

I actually made this for my mom and she loved it so much!

[@BertyPerez-h6r]

This is our favorite cookies but I add pecans 😋😋😋!!! So very tasty!!!

[@bestof9787]

Hi sir! I’m your big fan 🥰

[@sophieg8522]

The video says 1/2 cup white sugar and 1 cup brown sugar, but the recipe card (website/blog) says 1/3 cup white sugar and 1/2 cup brown sugar. Which is it? Thanks!

[@evelinricardo6022]

I am absolutely making these! Those are my husband's favorite and your recipe sounds and looks delicious!❤

[@lolachapstique]

This video came at the perfect timing!!! My toddler has been asking for oatmeal raisin cookies and you came out with this recipe! PERFECT!!!!!

[@naomid9397]

Hi John, thanks for this oatmeal cookie recipe. Tried it last week and it’s perfect. Love everything about it. Used cranberries and toasted pecans. I bake only a third of the recipe at a time and freeze the rest. It freezes really well. Been having fresh cookies all the time and today I’m making another batch. Thanks again!❤

[@naomid9397]

Btw, I also tried your cream puff with diplomat cream, carrot cake, Portuguese egg tart. They’re all wonderful! I was never successful making the cream puff until I tried your recipe with all the necessary instructions on how to make it correctly. Thank you!

[@ToddStickler-y4u]

I made your chocolate chip cookies, seriously the Best I've ever had ! Now watching your oatmeal cookie recipe, I love oatmeal, I will definitely be making these. I plan on buying your cookbooks ❤

[@Notti03]

I made this cookies for my family. They’re delicious. Thank you for sharing your recipe.

[@koalasez1200]

I always soak (or simmer) raisins, and my recipe calls for adding that small amount of liquid to the mixture. Love the soak in rum suggestion 🥰

[@ilihender5196]

No one ever gives these awesome tips on baking. Thank you John!

[@CeciliaValdes656]

When you slide your scale across your counter, I don't know but I get me a nervous tingle down my spine hahaha!!! As always, another fantastic recipe by a fantastic host; thank you very much, John!!!!

John! I just love your videos and recipes. Easy, short and to the point but most importantly......delicious!!Love your little humor too! 😄

[@ivyt2319]

The fam requested homemade oatmeal raisin cookies from me and I have never attempted to make any cuz I don't eat them lol but I knew that Preppy Kitchen won't fail me. I followed your recipe and the fam loved them! I had to try them and not gonna lie not too bad if I do say so myself 😄 I have more batches to make now cuz the fam knows to come to me for them. Thanks for your video!

[@garimashrestha9064]

John I haven’t subscribed to a whole lot of things but I have subscribed to your channel. I thoroughly enjoy your recipes. Even when I don’t make them I love watching you bake or cook. I have tried your fudge brownie and shakshuka recipe. The fudge brownie that I made by following your recipe is the best brownie I have ever made. Shakshuka was good too but I just over cooked the egg but that’s on me. I will do better next time

Your countertop is LITERALLY room temperature. You feel it's cold because it's obviously colder than 36ºC (body temperature), and it transfers heat really efectively. So, in reality, if you want to heat something quickly from the refrigerator, leaving it on the countertop is actually a good idea.

[@TheWellnessCuess]

Orange brandy is a great soak for the raisins or craisins!
