    These fun Oatmeal Raisinet Cookies are a classic, chewy, buttery oatmeal cookie with a fun twist. Instead of raisins or chocolate chips, I've used chocolate covered raisins so you get the best of both worlds.

    These fun Oatmeal Raisinet Cookies are a classic, chewy, buttery oatmeal cookie with a fun twist. Instead of raisins or chocolate chips, I’ve used chocolate covered raisins so you get the best of both worlds. 

    For me, the Super Bowl is mostly a great excuse to eat junk food. I was at Costco buying the junk food and their giant tub of chocolate covered raisins caught my eye. Raisinets are my favorite movie candy, but I try to avoid buying the huge Costco jar of chocolate covered raisins because I definitely eat more than I should if they’re in the house. 

    Oatmeal Raisinet Cookies

    Then I remembered that I’d been wanting to make cookies with Raisinets and I decided I could justify buying the enormous container of chocolate covered raisins if it was also a baking ingredient! So Oatmeal Raisinet Cookies became a delicious part of our Super Bowl smorgasboard.

    These fun Oatmeal Raisinet Cookies are a classic, chewy, buttery oatmeal cookie with a fun twist Raisinets instead of raisins or chocolate chips.

    The cold cookies are better than a hot one right out of the oven because the chocolate has time to set up around the raisin again.

    I made these cookies again recently for an open house my realtor was hosting. When I got home the entire platter of cookies was gone. I’d say they were a hit. I hope you’ll give them a try too.

      I made these and also used the dark chocolate raisinets.  HUGE success. One person said this is now his favorite cookie.  An easy but very popular recipe.  Thanks for sharing!

      Made these awesome cookies today and shared some with my neighbors. What a great idea to use Raisinets. I used the dark chocolate variety.

      Raisinets have always been a favorite of mine…my Mom used to buy them back in the day and both of us loved them. We even got one of the lunch ladies at the grade school hooked on them! So let’s see…oatmeal is good for you and raisins are a fruit..so these cookies have to be somewhat healthy, right? 😉 Wishful thinking don’tcha know? I have NO doubt there was an empty plate on the counter after that open house. Who could resist homemade cookies? No one, by the sound!

      These Oatmeal Raisinet Cookies looks tempting! Now, I have a good reason to get that huge tub of chocolate covered raisins from Costco too! 🙂

      I’m hosting a Culinary Smackdown Battle on my site, featuring cookies this month. These cookies you made would be perfect for the contest. Please join us for the fun. I have some cool prizes waiting.

      These would be the perfect Valentine’s Day treat for my husband, Barbara. He’s been a raisinet fanatic as long as I’ve known him – 42 years – and he ALWAYS buys them when we go to the movies, which is virtually every weekend. I’ve often wondered whether it’s the actual movies or the raisinets that explain his eagerness to go to the theatre!

      You are so right, why have simply oatmeal raisin cookies when you can have ’em with chocolate covered rasinets. These look heavenly Barbara! xo

      I love the idea of putting raisinets in the cookies! Im not a fan of raisins (especially in a cookie) but I do love raisinets and this sounds great!
