Oatmeal cookies from Chewy, Gooey, Crispy, Crunchy Melt-in-Your-Mouth Cookies by Alice Medrich

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Yes, the perfect oatmeal cookie! I made a few tweaks, boiled the raisins for 5 minutes using a Maida Heatter technique, then used the reduced raisin water for the 1/4 cup of water. Also used browned butter. Even without these mods, these are oaty and delicious.

    Fantastic cookies! Like jahqdruh, I used dried cranberries, and let the dough rest in the fridge overnight.

    Made these with dried cranberries instead of raisins. We tested them head-to-head against Cook's Illustrated's version of the same cookie, and Alice's version won. If you plan ahead, the overnight rest is worth the wait, as it gives the cookie a more complex, almost butterscotchy flavor.

    This is a good cookie, but not for immediate gratification. She has you refrigerate the dough overnight. The recipe is made with melted butter and no mixer is required.
