Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams brown sugar
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Chinese 5 spice powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 180 grams rolled oats
- 100 grams raisins
- 80 grams chopped walnuts (optional)
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 unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl, and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, Chinese 5 spice powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just incorporated.
Fold in the rolled oats, raisins, and chopped walnuts (if using). Ensure everything is evenly mixed.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are 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.
Serve the cookies once cooled, and store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
