FoodSmart Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
(Mama D's ORCs)
Ingredients
1 cup (2 sticks) buttery spread*
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
2-3 teaspoons vanilla
1¼ cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1¼ teaspoons ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt (optional)
3 cups oats
1¼ cups yellow raisins
Preparation
Heat oven to 325°F. In large bowl, combine
spread and sugars until creamy. Add eggs
and vanilla, mix well. In a separate bowl,
combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and
salt (optional). Mix well, then add to
first bowl mixture. Add oats, then
raisins, mixing well after each addition.
Drop mix by rounded tablespoonfuls onto
ungreased cookie sheets, using larger
amounts of dough for larger cookies.
Bake approximately 9 to 12 minutes or
until just slightly golden brown for soft
cookies, or approximately 10-13 minutes
for crispier cookies (times will fluctuate
based on your oven's heating capacity).
Let sit on cookie sheets 2-3 minutes, then
move to plate or platter (if there are any
left). Store in an airtight container to
preserve freshness.
Makes 3-4 dozen cookies.
Preparation Time: 15-18 minutes
Baking Time: 9-13 minutes

Organic ingredients may be used in place
of conventional ingredients.

raisins.

needed.
*Select lower saturated fat, no
cholesterol, no trans fat types. May also
substitute “light” or organic
spreads/sticks, or butter-blend
spreads/sticks that are lower in saturated
fat and cholesterol than butter alone.
