Chocolate Chip-Raisin Oat Cookies AKA Chippers

Recipe from Everyday Food (Collectible Cookie Edition)
These are Jennifer's favorite. I Even made them once for her baby shower. 😊

These make great gift-giving cookies. They should be about the size of an Oreo® cookie.

Each Martha Stewart cookie recipe I've included on this site comes from this little gem of a magazine. If you can find a way to order it, you won't be sorry. Everything in it is fabulous and comes out perfect.

Ingredients

11/2 cup flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1-cup butter (2 sticks-room temperature)
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
21/2 cups rolled oats
11/2 cups *raisins
12 oz semi-sweet chips

* You can substitute raisins with 1/2 cup more chocolate chips if you prefer.


Instructions

Preheat oven to 350, Grease 3-4 cookie sheets.
Sift flour, salt, soda & powder into a mixing bowl (set aside)
Cream together butter & sugars.
Add egg & vanilla and beat until light & fluffy. (scraping down sides of bowl as necessary)
Stir in flour mixture and on low (just until combined).
Stir in oats, raisins & chips.
Drop by heaping Tablespoon, (I use a small cookie scoop) onto cookie sheets, 1” apart.
Bake, rotating sheets halfway through until cookies have spread and are golden brown, but are still soft to the touch (10-12 min).
DO NOT OVER BAKE!

Quick Tip! If you prefer a crispier texture, bake the cookies for 16 minutes.
