Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Brown sugar (packed)
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 piece Large egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 190 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 150 grams Raisins
- 50 grams Chopped nuts (optional, such as 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, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes of mixing with a hand or stand mixer on medium speed.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until well combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the raisins and optional nuts using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 5 cm (2 inches) of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain 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 warm or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Enjoy!
