Absolute BEST oatmeal raisin cookie recipe out there! I’ve made these numerous times now and everyone I gift them to can’t get enough! Thank you!

This recipe is perfect – my favorite cookies of all time. I made the butterscotch chip levain cookies too and those were amazing as well!

I’ve made almost all of your levain bakery copycats! Im having a baby next month, and wanted to make lactation cookies to stick in the freezer. I subbed 1/2 cup of the AP flour for brewers yeast. They still turned out amazing. Thanks for the recipe ❤️

Did this today! Best Oatmeal Raisin Chocolate Chip (added 1 cup in replacement of 1 cup of raisin in the recipe) cookie to ever land (but did not last long) in our kitchen!
Thank you so much!

The first batch that I made was perfect! They looked exactly like the photos with that increditable gooey center and although I’m usually into chocolate cookies these became my favorite cookies of all time. However, when I made a second batch the insides were’nt gooey but cakey. The fault obvious lay with me, not the recipe, so I’m wondering what I did wrong? Thank you so much for this amazing recipe!

DELICIOUS RECIPE! The only thing I did differently was I added a tablespoon of molasses. YUM! It’s been many years looking for an oatmeal cookies recipe that are soft & chewy. This is the BEST!

In reply to SIERRA. Hi Sierra, I would replace some of the raisins with the chocolate chips. The amount of mix-ins needs to stay the same, so however many increments of raisins you omit, you can replace with chocolate chips.

Can we add chocolate chips to these?

I don’t usually leave recipe reviews (though I enjoy many of your recipes and have been making them for years!) but, Oatmeal Raisin Cookies NEVER get enough love. So, now is the time! This Levain tribute recipe is WONDERFUL. I added a tidge more cinnamon and oats (and broiled at the last minute to get the cookies a bit more golden brown)…all personal preference. However, this base recipe is comforting & delicious. You can’t beat Levain’s size, or the tender pillow of slightly gooey gold when you break one open. Thank you Hayley!
