🍪 Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

This is the cookie that makes people admit they’ve been wrong about oatmeal raisin.

Made with buttery dough, real molasses, brown sugar, and plump raisins, these cookies bake up with crisp, caramelized edges and a soft, melty center that stays rich and tender bite after bite. Rolled oats add structure and chew without ever turning dry or cakey, while warm cinnamon and vanilla deepen the flavor instead of overpowering it.

A touch of sourdough discard brings subtle depth and keeps the crumb moist — not sour, just quietly better. Finished with flaky salt, each cookie balances sweetness, butter, and spice in a way that feels both nostalgic and indulgent.

If you think oatmeal raisin is boring, this one exists to prove you wrong.
