Whole wheat flour in these easy to make oatmeal raisin cookies gives a delicious wholesome flavor. Make extra and store in the freezer for a wholesome snack!
Ingredients
- 2-¼ Cups whole wheat flour (all purpose flour can be substituted)
- 2 Cups dark brown sugar (firmly packed)
- 1 Teaspoon baking soda
- 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ Teaspoon salt
- 1 Teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 Cup butter, softened (2 sticks)
- 2 eggs
- 2 Cups oatmeal (quick cooking)
- 1 Cup coarsely chopped walnuts
- 1 Cup raisins
Note
I substituted whole wheat flour for the all purpose flour in this recipe and am very happy with the results. You can also substitute chocolate chips for the raisins -- or use a combination of the two! Be sure not to over cook these cookies so that they remain tender and delicious!
