Chewy oatmeal cookies packed with oats, raisins and walnuts. When I say chewy I mean it.
They come from King Arthur Flour’s Cookie Companion, a cookbook that classifies oatmeal cookie recipes by how crispy, crunchy, chewy and soft they are. You gotta love that.
I highly recommend the book – it’s the only cookie cookbook you’ll ever need. I would love to bake my way through it from start to finish because I want to make every single thing in it.
If you look up chewy oatmeal cookies in the dictionary you’ll find these there. No joking. These are so chewy my jaw got tired.
They are borderline crispy around the edges and super chewy everywhere else. There’s no softness to be found anywhere. These are the ultimate chewy cookies. They can’t possibly get any chewier.
{I have to say chewy one more time. Forgive me.}
If you’re looking for a chewy oatmeal cookie then the search is over.
Point made.
The ultimate chewy oatmeal cookies packed with oats, raisins and walnuts.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°. Lightly grease 2 large baking sheets or line with parchment paper or silpats.
- In a large bowl cream together the butter, shortening, sugars, extracts, spices, salt and baking soda, beating on medium until fairly smooth.
- Beat in the egg then scrape down the sides of the bowl. Beat in the corn syrup and milk.
- By hand stir in the oats, flour, nuts and raisins.
- Drop dough by tablespoonfuls onto greased baking sheets.
- Bake the cookies for 10 - 11 minutes or until they turn light golden brown. Remove from the oven and transfer to wire racks to cool. Store in a tightly covered container up to 5 days. If they become too hard place a slice of bread or a big piece of apple in the container and they will soften overnight.

Oatmeal raisin is my favorite kind of cookie. I don’t like it when folks mess with an oatmeal cookie by putting chocolate chips in it.I am eager to try this recipe.
I adore chewy …and I believe you mentioned that these are chewy.

I love the smell of oatmeal raisin cookies coming out of the oven. Now I’m hungry for some of these
Thanks for the recipe! I do prefer chewy to crunchy, especially with raisin cookies. Do you find it matters whether you use King Arthur flour or not?
Hi Deb! That shouldn’t make a difference! I didn’t use it for these and have made a ton of their recipes with other brands. If you give them a try let me know how you like them. Have a good weekend!
