Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened) unsalted butter
- 1 cup (packed) brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1.5 cups (gently crushed) bran flakes cereal
- 1 cup raisins
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand or stand mixer.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Using a wooden spoon or spatula, fold in the rolled oats, crushed bran flakes cereal, and raisins until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto your prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look set. Be careful not to overbake.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Oatmeal Raisin Bran Cookies with a glass of milk or cup of tea. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
