Notes
-
- Keep the butter and eggs at room temperature before making the batter.
- Feel free to adjust the quantity of chocolate chips, raisins, and walnuts in the cookies to suit your taste.
- Black raisins are typically preferred in this recipe for their rich flavor, you can experiment with different varieties to make the cookies your own.
- Refrigerate the batter to get softer and chewier cookies.
- It is better if the batter sits in the refrigerator for a while so the old-fashioned oats soak in the batter. If you bake it immediately, it may spread a little more and you get large-sized giant cookies.
- When you bake the cookies from the refrigerated batter, you will find that they do not spread as much and are more chewy and softer.
- Be sure not to overbake the cookies, as this will make them hard instead of soft and chewy.
- They might appear slightly underbaked in the center, but as long as the edges are golden brown, it's the perfect time to remove them from the oven.
- The cookies will continue to cook a bit as they cool, giving you that desired soft and chewy texture.
