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.
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.
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 love raisinets too, they’re so addicting. But in a cookie is even better! I love this idea. They look soooo good, I would have a really hard time not eating every single one. 🙂

What a fun cookie! My mom loves Raisinets so I know she’d go crazy for these…I’m printing the recipe to share with her!

It isn’t often I see a cookie I “MUST” make because I personally am partial to certain recipes when it comes to a cookie. However, Oatmeal raisin are a different story. I am always looking for a new one to try because it is Grumpy’s favorite cookie and I have never been able to make one that he adores yet. I’m hoping this is the one and I will be trying it in the near future!

Barbara! No wonder we are friends! Raisinets are MY favorite candy but how is it I have never ever thought of using them in cookies. Simply brilliant and now I want a whole box of them. Great recipe. Am on a cookie thing lately and I may snitch this fabulous recipe!

Those cookies look so fat and chewy. They look wonderful! Gee, I’m going to Costco tomorrow. Do I dare buy a big container of Raisinet??? 😉
Thanks for the shout out! I appreciate it! 😀

Fun idea to put Raisinets in oatmeal cookies! I’ve been having a hankering for oatmeal cookies.
Kendra
I love this idea….can’t wait to try them!
Bonnie
I like the way you think. I am not chocolate covered raisin fan but I LOVE oatmeal cookies. I think I might need to make a Costco run.
Kim
I loved hearing that you preferred these cookies cold. Sometimes I feel like the only person on earth who enjoys cold cookies. Like you, I like when the chocolate has a chance to set up.
This is such a fun twist on an oatmeal raisin cookie. Definitely going to try this!
Debbie
What a great idea to add raisinets!!! I always have oatmeal in the house and love raisinets so I am going to have to try this!

These look fantastic! Hehe along with a Halloween and a Thanksgiving, I’d really like to attend an American Superbowl party! And that quote about liking the Superbowl for junk food is why you’re my mum! xxx

OMG…these chocolate raisin treats are a huge weakness of mine.
Now, look what you’ve done…another terrible reason to think of raisinets…in a cookie no less!!!
Flavourful wishes,

Questi biscotti sembrano davvero deliziosi, peccato che qui non credo si trovi l’uvetta ricoperta di cioccolato….?!
Ciao a presto

I just bought a package of dark-chocolate covered raisins today. (It’s my way of snacking “healthy”.) This was meant to be. If I add oatmeal to my dried fruit and rich-in-antioxidant-chocolate, I’ll have like a TRIFECTA of healthful ingredients in my snack.
And there’s absolutely no fat in these, right? That’s what I thought.
Erin
Great idea!
Bridgett
These would be just as hard to resist as that big tub of raisinettes. My kids would definitely go for these as well.
Maria
I know I will love these!
