Oatmeal Raisin Cookies Recipe
Craving a warm, comforting treat? These Oatmeal Raisin Cookies are the perfect combination of soft, chewy, and slightly crisp on the edges.
Ingredients
- ½ cup salted butter, softened
- 1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup raisins
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and brown sugar at medium speed until fluffy (about 3-4 minutes), scraping the sides of the bowl periodically. Add the egg and vanilla extract; beat well.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- While the mixer is on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture just until combined. Fold in the oats and raisins. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper.
- Using a 4-teaspoon spring-loaded scoop, drop dough onto the prepared pans. Place the cookie dough about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for about 12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly browned but still slightly soft. Let cool on the pans for 3 minutes. Remove from pans and let cool completely on wire racks.
