Ingredients
Instructions
- Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda; cut in butter until the mixture is mealy.
- Add beaten egg, milk, and raisins; mix until all ingredients are moistened and dough holds together.
- The dough will be very stiff.
- Roll on a floured board to 1 1/2-inch thickness; cut with a 2-inch cookie cutter.
- Refrigerate until ready to bake on a griddle.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, you can substitute half of the butter with applesauce or Greek yogurt. If you prefer a different flavor, try adding vanilla extract or spices like cinnamon or nutmeg. Ensure your dough is chilled before cooking on the griddle to prevent sticking. If the dough is too stiff, add a bit more milk gradually until the desired consistency is reached.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Griddle Cookies warm, dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with honey for extra sweetness. They pair wonderfully with coffee or tea for a delightful afternoon snack. For a complete meal, consider serving alongside Glazed Honey Carrots for a balanced plate. These cookies also make a great dessert option after a light meal.

Store leftover Griddle Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, freeze the cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to three months.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour in this recipe. However, it may make the cookies denser and change the texture slightly. To help with this, consider adding a tablespoon of extra milk to maintain moisture.
What can I use instead of raisins?
If you don't have raisins or prefer a different flavor, you can substitute with chocolate chips, dried cranberries, or chopped nuts. Each option will give the cookies a unique twist while maintaining their delicious taste.
How can I tell when the cookies are done cooking on the griddle?
Look for a light golden brown color on the bottom of the cookies, and they should be firm to the touch. Cooking times may vary based on your griddle temperature, so keep an eye on them and adjust as necessary.
