Cook Time: 12 mins
Total Time: 27 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a medium mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer or whisk.
- Add vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix thoroughly until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and cinnamon powder to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Fold in the rolled oats and raisins using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Gently flatten each cookie dough ball with the back of a spoon to create a slight disk shape.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Room Temperature Matters: Ensure your butter is softened but not melted for the perfect cookie texture.
- Don't Overmix: Mix the dough just until ingredients are combined to keep the cookies tender.
- Raisin Hack: Soak raisins in warm water for 10 minutes before adding to the dough to prevent them from burning and make them plumper.
- Consistent Size: Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookies that bake evenly.
- Cooling is Crucial: Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to prevent breaking.
- Storage Secret: Store in an airtight container with a slice of bread to keep cookies soft for up to 5 days.
- Customize: Feel free to swap raisins with chocolate chips or nuts for a personal touch!
