Easy After School Cookie Recipes
These easy after school cookie recipes are a huge hit with kids of all ages! The perfect way to go back-to-school with a sweet treat!
One of my kids starts high school in just a few days. The other enters his senior year. When I first started blogging on a different site, they were both in preschool.
Time flies. Truly.
I first developed these Oatmeal Raisin-Chocolate Chip Cookies below when my boys were very young. All of the other after-school homemade cookies I’m sharing here are fairly new recipes (some prompted in large part by my oldest son’s intense love of Crumbl cookies!) But no matter when or why I developed each of these recipes, there’s one thing I’ve leard that’s always true. If your mom makes you after-school cookies, you’re gonna love them no matter what your age.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup white whole wheat flour or all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In large bowl of a stand mixer, cream together butter and sugar. Add egg and vanilla; continue beating until smooth (do not overbeat).
- Stir together dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, and salt), and beat into butter mixture. Beat in oats, raisins, and chocolate chips just until combined.
- Scoop dough out by spoonfuls at least 2 inches apart on baking sheet (cookies will spread). Bake in preheated oven for 12 minutes, or until golden brown.
