    That is the same type of sifter I use. Mine was my motherโ€™s and I have been using it for over 30 years. I have had other types but have never liked them as much. Canโ€™t wait to try this recipe.

    Pro tips: Best oatmeal cookie recipe is printed on the side of the Quaker oatmeal box. Best pecan pie recipe is printed on the Karo syrup bottle. Sure, you can mess with these recipes, but at your own risk!

    This recipe is similar to the one from America's test kitchen. I replace the raisins for cranberries, dark chocolate chips or cherries. I do find that mixers really are overrated for most recipes. The best cookies and breads I've ever eaten are made all by hand.

    The big problem for me with oatmeal raisin cookies is that from a distance, they look so much like chocolate chip cookies that I bite into one and am immediately disappointed.

    I donโ€™t eat cookies often but when do I prefer oatmeal.
    Your version of Cookโ€™s Illustratedโ€™s sounds like a tiny bit of Heaven here on earth. Thank you so much for your teaching. You are up there with Jacque Pepin in pantheon of great mentors. You are gifted!

    Itโ€™s so funny, oatmeal raisin cookies are my absolute favorite cookie ๐Ÿ˜‚ Iโ€™m always disappointed when they are straight oatmeal or oatmeal cranberry. Funny how tastes differ.

    You can't make long enough video. You can make a week long run video and it would feel like a moment. ๐Ÿ™‚
    All the cranberry I can get is heavily sweetened. Sour is my favourite taste, and they don't let me experience it!!!

    My wife has an oatmeal cookie recipe that we love. As we have a kumquat tree in our garden we drown in kumquats. She found a recipe for oatmeal cookies that uses kumquats and chocolate chips. It uses only oil, but I will try the butter to see how that comes out.) We've never liked raisins in oatmeal cookies and you explained what the issue is. Kumquats' are also acidic and that must be what makes ours so good also. We cut up and freeze the kumquats so that we have them all year round for baking. We will also try with pecans or walnuts instead of chocolates chips and see how they come out. Letting the oatmeal dough sit sound good also. l We enjoy all your videos and get lots of good tips from you. You have clear and reasoned explanations. You are a pleasure to watch. Thank you.

    Thank you for the recipe. I did not have all of the ingredients so I have just cooked a batch under your recipe's lead, with small differences:
    I had no brown sugar, so I used 200 gr white granule sugar
    No cherries, and pecan, so I used raisins and regular walnuts + almonds
    No cinnamon (I just don't like the taste)
    No vanilla, so I used packed "vanillin" (dust)
    No hand-rolled oatmeal, so I used "breakfast oatmeal"
    No baking soda, so I used baking powder.

    Well, reading my comment, it feels like I cooked something completely different, but it was still very delicious and looked very similar to your cookies.
    I would add even less granule sugar next time.
    Thanks for the inspiration, and lots of love from Istanbul!
    (Ps: Can't wait to see a you doing a "baklava with Helen's twist" video ๐Ÿ™‚ .)

    Real comment: Helen, I knew IMMEDIATELY that your accent is Russian. My wife and I have a friend who is about 30 years younger than we are. She is an immigrant to the US from Russia – Vladivostok. She often performs music with me, she sings beautifully! She refers to us as her "adopted American parents" – and has even introduced us as such to her real parents in a video chat with them. She has introduced us to quite a bit of Russian food, but I would seriously like to see you do more on the cuisine of your native country.

    I have a favorite oatmeal cookie recipe, but I'm going to give this one a try this year because I've loved all your recipes that I've tried so far. I will use raisins though, because I love them. But they HAVE to be golden raisins. I use them in my babka too, they have such a lovely flavor, not like the dark ones. Thanks for this Helen!

    I can confirm that dried cranberries are great in oatmeal cookies — so much better than raisins. I almost always use them instead of raisins for any application and Costco sells them at a very attractive price. Since they are a little bit drier than raisins, for some recipes I soak them in warm water first.

    Oatmeal cookies are my absolute favorite cookie. I'll have to try the brown the butter and I love cherries I use a mix of cherries cranberries and golden raisins but as far as the nuts go I prefer walnuts and I like a lot of walnuts in my oatmeal cookie! So thank you for this recipe I will have to try your technique.

    I can't be friends with anyone who refuses to eat oatmeal cookies with raisins. But, will eat them with chocolate chips. These cookies look lovely. I believe I might have some dried cherries in my pantry. So, might have to try these out this weekend.

    I have to eat low carb these days due to a misspent youth, but I couldn't resist watching a video on one of my favorite cookies in my life. The addition of cherries and pecans looks wonderful. I'm sure at some point in the future, I will be able to have some cheat days… but until then, I will live vicariously through the video.
