Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups light brown sugar
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups raisins
- 0.25 cup hot water
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
In a small bowl, combine the raisins and hot water. Let them soak for 5 minutes to plump up, then drain and set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Step 6
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 7
Fold in the soaked raisins using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 8
Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop 1.5-inch dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look slightly underbaked.
Step 10
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Serve and enjoy your homemade brown sugar and raisin cookies with a glass of cold milk or a hot cup of tea!
