****10 POINTS! ~~~~~~~~~~ Give me your BEST, CHEWY oatmeal rasin cookie recipe plz!~~~~~~~~~~ 10 POINTS****?

Question

I'm looking to make a great-tasting, very very chewy/moist oatmeal raisin recipe! It can be the most complicated thing in the world, I don't care at this point, just as long as it doesn't taste like raw flour, have a weird after-taste, etc. Lately, everything I've been baking tastes like raw flour, and it's friggin' nasty. I bought new flour, so that's not the problem. So it has to be the recipes I'm using (as I'm following them to the T). Therefore, I need you to suggest a good one that you've made yourself and KNOW will turn out great! If I pick your recipe and it comes out as good as you say, I'll pick you for best answer! Thanks!

Answer 1

This is by far the BEST I've ever made!

1 1/4 cups brown sugar, packed
1 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (Do NOT use imitation vanilla)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
3 cups oats (old-fashioned)
1 1/3 cups flour
1 cup raisins

Preheat oven to 350F.
Mix together brown sugar and butter until smooth.
Stir in baking soda, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt.
Add eggs and stir until blended.
Stir in oats, flour and raisins.
Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet, about 2-inches apart.
Bake 9-11 minutes or until lightly browned.
Remove from cookie sheet at once and cool on wire rack.

Answer 2

Loaded Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Cookies
Ingredients
1 1/4 Cups rolled oats 1 1/4 Cups all purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking powder 1 Cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla 1/2 tsp baking soda
small amount of salt 1 1/2 sticks butter = 12 tsp
1 egg

Extras
3/4 cup dried cranberries, cherries, raisins, whatever dried fruit you want
3/4 Cup toasted pecan pieces
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips or chunks

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all regular ingredients together thoroughly, then mix in extras - cherries, pecans chocolate, or you pick your own favorites. Be sure to get some in all of the dough mix. Because they are "loaded" make BIG cookies on cookie sheet 2 inches apart using an ice cream scoop for uniform size. Bake only 20 - 22 minutes (may seem soft) but let rest on wire rack and do not overcook. Really Yummy!
