Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams light brown sugar
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 150 grams raisins
- 50 grams optional: chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans)
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, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the raisins and optional chopped nuts, if using.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion out dough balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 5 cm (2 inches) between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
