Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 units Large eggs
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 150 grams Raisins
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the vanilla extract, then add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the raisins until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy these delightful cookies with a warm cup of tea!
