I’m not sure where this recipe came from, but these are the easiest and best tasting oatmeal cookies I’ve ever made. I’ve now made 3 or 4 batches and they have turned out wonderfully delicious every time.
The recipe as given calls for a food processor. Apparently, it’s for a much bigger one then I have, as there is no way all those ingredients would fit in mine. I used a mixer to cream the butter and sugars and then added the rest of the ingredients.
Enjoy!
Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Bars
2 sticks softened butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup light brown sugar
2-1/2 cups rolled oats
1-1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups raisins
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides; coat the foil with cooking spray. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Pulse 2 sticks softened butter with 3/4 cup each granulated sugar and brown sugar in a food processor until combined. Add 2 1/2 cups rolled oats, 1 1/2 cups flour and 1 teaspoon each baking powder and salt; pulse to combine. Add 2 cups raisins, 2 eggs and 2 teaspoons vanilla; pulse until large clumps form.
Spread in the prepared pan or press in using damp or oiled fingers.
Bake until the edges are set but the center is soft, about 35 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely in the pan.
