Oh-So-Good Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, melted and cooled
- 4 tablespoons safflower oil
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseed (or wheat germ)
- 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour (or all-purpose)
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup toasted pecans, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup light (or dark) brown sugar
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and oil until completely blended.
Whisk in sugars, egg, egg yolk, vanilla and salt; set aside.
In a second large bowl, combine oats, flaxseed, flour and baking powder, then add to butter mixture and stir well with a wooden spoon or spatula to combine thoroughly.
Fold in raisins and pecans.
Drop dough by the spoonful onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake one sheet at a time until just cookies are just cooked through and golden brown, 9 to 10 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through baking.
Carefully transfer to wire racks and let cookies cool on baking sheets for five minutes, then transfer cookies to wire rack to let cool completely. Repeat with the other sheet of cookies.
