    If you’ve made these monster cookies and enjoyed them, then you will love these oatmeal craisin cookies! Both are made with oats and aren’t overly sweet. There is nothing better than a perfectly sweet cookie with crispy edges and a soft center.

    INGREDIENT NOTES

    Rolled Oats – You’ll need old-fashioned rolled oats for this recipe. Avoid quick oats.

    Craisins – If you’re not a fan of craisins or dried cranberries, use raisins instead. Make sure the craisins or raisins are soft and fresh! If the craisins are very hard, they’re most likely expired.

    Unsalted Butter – Softened at room temperature.

    RECIPE TIPS

    • When the cookies come out of the oven, they will be a little soft in the center, but that’s okay. Allow them to sit for a couple of minutes before eating.
    • It’s crucial that your brown sugar is soft and fresh. If the brown sugar is too hard, your cookies won’t turn out soft and chewy.
    • Chill the cookie dough for at least 1 hour before baking.
