Chewy Sultana Oatmeal Cookies

Every family has a favourite cookie, which will always be the oatmeal cookies and better with sultanas for my kiddo, that is a sultana lover, but you can use raisins without a problem or change for other dry fruit or chocolate chip. That the good thing about this simple recipe is that you can use whatever you love or have as a leftover in your pantry to mix with the oatmeal dough.

If you are looking for chewy oatmeal raisin cookies, this is the recipe for you because it has the hard crust from the quick oats but the chewiness of the brown sugar inside. For me is the perfect combination for homemade cookies.

First, you should preheat the oven to medium temperature and prepare baking sheets with parchment paper.

Sift the dry ingredients in a medium bowl: flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg; and set aside.

In a separate bowl, beat the unsalted butter with brown sugar and white sugar with an electric mixer or hand mixer over medium speed. Add the vanilla and eggs to the mixture, beating well after the addition. 

Incorporate the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and mix well. Finally, incorporate by hand the oats and sultanas. 

Scoop the dough with a cookie scoop and form balls by hand, and flatten them over the prepared baking sheet. Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes and medium temperature. 

Let the cool for 5 minutes on a wire rack, and enjoy these delicious cookies.
