- Avoid Overmixing: Stir just until combined to keep the cookies tender.
- Raisin Prep: Soak raisins in warm water for 10 minutes before adding (then drain) for extra plumpness.
- Cookie Size: For larger cookies, use a tablespoon or cookie scoop and increase baking time by 1–2 minutes.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Optional Variations
- Nutty Twist: Add ¼ cup chopped walnuts or pecans with the oats.
- Spiced Version: Mix in ½ teaspoon cinnamon or a pinch of nutmeg for a warm flavor.
- Chocolate Swap: Replace raisins with chocolate chips for a sweeter take.
Ingredients
Directions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375℉ (190℃) and grease a cookie sheet or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine Bisquick, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, eggs, and milk. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-blended. (The milk ensures the dough isn’t too dry.)
- Add Oats and Raisins: Fold in the rolled oats and raisins until evenly distributed.
- Shape the Cookies: Drop the dough by heaping teaspoons (about 1 tablespoon each) onto the prepared cookie sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are light golden brown. (Oven times may vary, so check at 10 minutes to avoid overbaking.)
- Cool: Remove cookies from the sheet immediately after baking and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Comments
Needed to add some water to get the dough to stick together.
I just added an extra egg
Delicious but you need to add some water, as the other review mentioned. Very clever recipe!
needed more moisture, so added applesauce. delicious.
They left out the margarine !!!
How much margarine
How much margarine?
Usually a stick, or 1/2 cup per recipe
I live in Stranraer, Scotland and made these in California from the Bisquick cookbook, but used about 3/4 cup margarine, creamed withthe sugars - delicious !!!
I added yogurt to moisten.
These need cinnamon.
Is instant oatmeal ok?
Close to Grandmas recipe but she used Oleo! Lol!
Butter is Better and more healthy than Any other butter substitutes!
Now for moisture ,you add a pint of your Best Whisky!
The alcohol will evaporate so your Gkids won’t get drunk!
They will however remember Grandma’s Whiskey Cookies!
The recipe was perfect for me. I did not need to add anything but I did not spoon it on to the bake sheets I wet my hands with water and made balls and put them on parchment to bake. They turned out so good my husband put in a request for me to make a second batch this week end. Thank you for this recipe.
I increase Bisquick to two cups and added a half cup applesauce for the eggs and two small bananas toincrease moisture...yummy and filling.
No butter or oil? Cookies are good but kind of dry
I put cannabis in mine. They were delicious.
Just made theses with my 5 year old daughter. We did make a couple changes. First change is that we used Gluten Free Bisquick, as I am intolerant to gluten. I saw folks saying they needed to add moisture. So we mashed a banana with just a splash of half & half and added that. Instead of raisins, I used shredded coconut. And my little girl wanted to put in cinnamon, so I added about 1/2 teaspoon of that. These cookies are amazing! Crispy on the outer edges, soft and chewy inside. Great texture from the oats and coconut. And honestly, I hate bananas, but I would make these over and over again.
I agree with those who said the recipe is missing butter or margarine!! I add 1/2 C softened, use only 1 egg, use 1 C brown sugar, no white, and only add 3/4 C of oatmeal. I really just adapted the Bisquick chocolate chip cookie recipe I've made for many, many years! Works great; I get 3 to 3 1/2 dozen . . . depending on how often my grandsons & I sample the dough!! ☺️
These were good with your adjustments.
Thanks. I was wondering if it needed moisture. I added coconut oil and some rum cinnamon and a maybe chips. I’ll let you know. Thx
That's too much sugar! I subbed 1/4 cup of honey instead, added a splash of milk, and cranberries.
Delish!
I added dried cranberries and mini dark chocolate chips
Soaked the crans and raisins to plump them - and added pinch of salt. Some butter would have helped with moisture, but was in hurry! In oven, has attracted neighbors because of smell! Lol!
Very dry but tasty
Can I use gluten free biscuit mix fir these oatmeal’s cookies?
very good!
