Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 150 grams light brown sugar, packed
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 240 grams rolled oats
- 150 grams raisins
- 1 tablespoon milk (optional, if dough is too thick)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy and pale. This should take about 2–3 minutes using an electric mixer at medium speed.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Fold in the rolled oats and raisins using a spatula. If the dough looks too thick or crumbly, add 1 tablespoon of milk to help it come together.
Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded dough portions onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set but still soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
