As I'm sure you know, it can be incredibly hard to reach an agreement in a family. For example, what to have for dinner, or what kind of cookies should we make. That was the question this week. What kind of cookies do you want? White chocolate chip! Oatmeal raisin. No! White chocolate chip! But I want oatmeal raisin...and so it goes. I decided to resolve any and all indecision and/or disagreement by making white chocolate & golden raisin oatmeal cookies. TaDa!
This is a crisp, yet still chewy oatmeal cookie studded with white chocolate and golden raisins. I chose golden raisins for their milder flavor. I didn't want a strong raisin flavor to overpower the white chocolate flavor. And it so totally worked. These cookies are delicious. I predict a short life span for these cookies.
White Chocolate & Golden Raisin Oatmeal Cookies
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup butter flavored shortening
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 Tablespoons milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups old fashioned oatmeal
2 cups quick oats (not instant)
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup golden raisins
Preheat the oven to 375F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat together both kinds of shortening and both sugars until well blended and smooth. Add the eggs, milk, and vanilla and beat well. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt, and beat until just combined. Stir in the oats, white chocolate chips, and raisins.
Drop the dough by heaping tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Bake for about 13 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely. Makes about 36 cookies.
Enjoy! -Cardamommy
