Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups raisins
• 0.5 cups water (for plumping raisins)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

Place the raisins in a small bowl and cover them with the 0.5 cups of water. Microwave for 1-2 minutes to plump the raisins, then drain the water and pat the raisins dry. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Add the eggs, one at a time, to the creamed mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Gently fold in the plumped raisins with a spatula until evenly distributed.

Step 8

Using a large cookie scoop or 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the dough and place it onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten the tops of the cookie mounds with your fingers or the back of a spoon.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set but still soft.

Step 10

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve warm with a glass of milk or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
