I tried to combine recipes to come up with a cookie that tastes like Tate's Bake Shop cookies. The published Tate's recipe on YouTube does not taste like the cookies you buy in the store in the green bag. This is the closest I've come to simulating the oatmeal raisin flavor. This is not a thick cakey cookie but a thin, crisp, lighter version.

Step 2

Mix 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
Step 3

Place cold butter in a microwave-safe bowl and heat until soft, but not melted, 20 to 30 seconds. Add brown sugar and white sugar; mix with a metal whisk or spoon for 45 seconds. Add egg, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix for 20 seconds. Pour in dry ingredients and mix for 10 to 20 seconds. Fold in oats and raisins for 30 seconds.
Step 4

Roll cookie dough into small balls, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Space cookie balls 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until tops are golden brown and edges are crisp, 13 to 15 minutes.

Cook's Note:

Make sure you don't overmix the cookie dough. I don't use an electric mixer because it overmixes.

My new favorite cookie! I followed the directions almost exactly (I didn’t have nutmeg, so I rounded my teaspoon of cinnamon). They were exactly what I was looking for! Flat, crispy, and chewy!! Would highly recommend! Read More

Best cookies I’ve ever made. Followed the recipe with no changes. Be sure to keep the balls 3 inches apart. Got exactly the 30 as stated. Read More

My new favorite cookie! First attempt did not turn out as thin as I was expecting but who cares, it was delicious and crispy. I flattened a little before baking and will flatten a little more next time. Read More

It was good but NOT CRISPY. Maybe I made the cookie too thick. I recommend you make the cookie as thin as possible or it will be chewy and not crispy. Read More

Do not over mix it. If your cookies seem too thick this is probably the reason. These are just delicious--plan on making some to share as they are too good to keep in the house. If you do accidentally over mix, let the dough rest, and/or add the remaining 2T butter. Read More

as a Tates cookie eater from the orginal bakery on Long Island I thought these were great. A little chewier so next time I'll flatten them a little before baking. Also didn't have salted butter so used unsalted. Not sure if it would have made a difference. These are now my go to cookies when I need a fix. Read More

quite possibly the best cookies I have ever made and I have made quite a few. The texture, so light and delicate. FYI I followed the recipe and then took half the batter and added half cup of chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of pecans. it makes about 2 dozen of each kind of cookie. we tried to decide which one is better but they're both so good they don't need to compete.

Great recipe! Just like the Tate’s brand. This wasn’t noted in the recipe, and it could be common sense, but make sure to smash the cookie dough balls on the baking sheet because they won’t spread out on their own. You’ll wind up with cookie balls (that we’re delicious:-) instead of pretty flat cookies as the dough is stiff. Crispy, flaky, buttery goodness. Try the recipe! Read More
