Oatmeal raisin cookies are a classic in the pantheon of desserts, so I was stunned to discover that The Washington Post didn’t have a recipe in our database for this delicious but divisive dessert.
There are recipes for “outrageous” oatmeal cookies with raisins and cranberries, cherry pistachio oatmeal cookies, thin and crispy oatmeal cookies with shredded coconut and salted oatmeal cookies without any mix-ins, but none that focused just on the marriage of oats and raisins. I gladly took it as my mission to fix this grave oversight. After multiple tests, I landed on a recipe for thick and chewy oatmeal cookies — featuring hearty oats, plump raisins, warm cinnamon and fragrant allspice for extra complexity — that any fan of the confection will love.
