Sometimes you want a classic oatmeal raisin cookie, but with personality. This remix starts with our OG Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix and turns it into a spiced, boozy, chewy cookie with rum-soaked raisins and just the right amount of oats. It feels nostalgic, but with a grown-up twist. If you’re looking for a cookie that tastes like holiday parties and cozy nights in, this is the one.
The secret is simple: soak your raisins in spiced rum and fold in some dry oats for that chewy texture. The rest is easy, and the mix does the heavy lifting. You’ll get warm spices, melty chocolate, and that hint of rum that makes people think you spent more time baking than you actually did.
What You’ll Need
- 1 pouch OG Chocolate and the Chip Cookie Mix
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 egg + 1 extra yolk
- 2 tbsp spiced rum
- Dash of vanilla extract (optional)
- ¼ cup dried oats
- ¼ cup spiced-rum-soaked raisins
How to Make Them
Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a bowl, whisk together the melted butter, whole egg, extra yolk, and spiced rum (plus vanilla if you’re using it). Add the dry cookie mix slowly and stir with a fork or hand mixer until the dough is smooth. Fold in the oats and rum-soaked raisins with a spatula.
Chill the dough for 10–15 minutes. If it feels too soft, chill a little longer. If it seems dry, add liquid 1 tablespoon at a time. Scoop the dough onto a parchment-lined sheet pan, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges look lightly golden. Let them cool before digging in.
You’ll end up with soft, chewy oatmeal raisin cookies kissed with warm spice, real chocolate, and a subtle rum finish.
