Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Raisins
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the raisins by hand using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or a 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 and the centers look slightly underbaked.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on them for 5 minutes, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
