The best mini oatmeal raisin cookies with crispy edges, chewy center, and delicious flavor. 

Mini Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

My father in law’s very favorite cookies are oatmeal raisin and he just loves them. We are moving him to a new home this weekend so I wanted to bake him a little treat to make him smile through the stress of moving. I added some cinnamon, cardamom, and nutmeg for a nice kick of spice and I chopped the raisins up really well so they wouldn’t overpower the mini cookies. These cute and delicious mini oatmeal raisin cookies were taste tested by my daughter and she loved them so I’m sure her grandpa will too.

In a separate large bowl, beat the butter with a hand mixer for 1 minute, until creamy and smooth.

Add the brown sugar and white sugar and beat for 2 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until creamy and smooth.

Gradually add the oat mixture to the butter mixture until just combined. Add the chopped raisins and stir to mix evenly.
