Ingredients

• 115 grams unsalted butter
• 150 grams light brown sugar
• 50 grams granulated sugar
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 125 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 200 grams old-fashioned rolled oats
• 150 grams raisins
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the raisins with 2 tablespoons of water. Microwave for 30 seconds and set aside to plump up while preparing the cookies.

Step 3

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

Step 4

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

Step 5

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

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined.

Step 7

Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, fold in the rolled oats and the plumped-up raisins (along with any remaining liquid).

Step 8

Scoop the dough into 1.5-tablespoon-sized portions or use a medium cookie scoop. Place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set but still soft.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Serve the cookies once fully cooled or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Enjoy!
