Photo: Crispy Oatmeal Cookies Recipe
Ingredients
- 3/4 pound (3 sticks) unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 1/8 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups rolled oats (not instant)
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 1/2 cups raisins
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a mixer, cream the butter until fluffy. Add the sugars, and cream together until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and mix well.
In a bowl, stir together the oats, flour, salt, and baking soda. Mixing, slowly add the oat mixture to the butter mixture and mix just until combined. Add raisins and mix just until combined.
Drop by tablespoonfuls onto the baking sheets, leaving at least 2-inches between cookies. Bake until browned and crispy around the edges, about 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool on wire racks and store in an airtight container.

I have to admit that I, like earlier reviewers, was concerned about how sticky the dough appeared, so I went ahead and added an extra 1/4 C flour along with 2 tsp. of cinnamon, and 1 tsp. each of nutmeg and cloves. Except for these tiny additions, I followed the recipe exactly and these are WONDERFUL. They are buttery, and delicately crispy on the outside, but they are chewy on the inside. My husband, an oatmeal cookie connoisseur, says they are the best I have ever made. By the way, I agree with the reviewer that mentioned the importance of mixing the butter and sugar, per the instructions, to a "light" consistency. I am sure this step contributes to the airy yet scrumptious crispness of the cookie.

The butter makes the batter very gooey..but the recipe still works. I'd make smaller cookies and rotate cookie sheet in the middle of baking. They are crispy and chewy at the same time. Make these, you will not be disappointed!

i thought that this was the recipe i was looking for, but i read all of the reviews that tweaked the recipe and you all ruined it. It's called a 'Crispy Oatmeal Cookie,'
YOU all needed a regular oatmeal cookie recipe...go find one. this was a perfectly good 'crispy oatmeal cookie recipe" and you all screwed it up! i made it considering your tweaks AND.... then made it as written , after i followed your 'tweaks' and it was just a jive oatmeal cookie recipe. As written, it was really a very good crispy oatmeal cookie!!
