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)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Fold in the rolled oats and plumped raisins until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 8

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers look slightly underbaked.

Step 10

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve and enjoy your Raisin Oatmeal Cookies with a cold glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage!
