These chewy and delicious oatmeal cookies are a treat your family will love.
I love cookies. Any kind of cookies. They have always been my favorite dessert to make and to eat. It has been awhile since I shared a cookie recipe with you, so I am excited to have a new cookie recipe for you today.
Some oatmeal cookies are a basic cookie with a little oatmeal added. These are not that kind of cookie. These are a hearty thick and full of oatmeal cookie. These are great on their own for just a plain oatmeal cookie, but we love them with raisins or chocolate chips added. A combination of both is even better.
These cookies are flourless, which is great because if you use gluten-free oats they are an easy gluten-free dessert.

Flourless Oatmeal Cookies are so good that no one will know they are gluten free. These are normal cookies that just happen to be gluten free.

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Can’t wait to try these. If I don’t want to use Chocolate chips do I need to double the raisins or just leave it as is minus the chocolate chips?
This is one of those recipes that I think you can really add what you want for the raisins and chocolate chips. I use about 1 1/2 cups raisins when I make the raisin version, but if you could use a full 2 cups as well. If you just want a few raisins use 1 cup. You might start with 1 cup and stir them in and see what you think of the batter and add more if you want. I hope you enjoy them!
Thanks for the quick reply. I’m always scared to veer from recipes 🙂
can’t wait to try these. Thank you!
Could you let me know what the measurement is for the cinnamon please? Was just about to make these and am guessing it’s either 1 tsp or 1T.
It is 1 teaspoon. Sorry about that. I just fixed it in the recipe.
