Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1.5 cups Raisins
- 0.5 cup Hot water (for plumping raisins)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Place the raisins in a small bowl and cover them with hot water to plump them. Let them sit for 5-10 minutes, then drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the rolled oats and plumped raisins until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers look slightly underbaked.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Raisin Oatmeal Cookies with a cold glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage!
