Equipment

  • 1 hand mixer or stand mixer
  • 1 baking sheet
  • 1 cookie scoop optional

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 1 cup light brown sugar lightly packed
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 1/2 cups old fashion oatmeal rolled oats
  • 2 cups raisins

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter until light and fluffy. Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar, continue beating until fluffy.
  • Turn the mixer to low and stir in the eggs, one at a time, until incorporated thoroughly. Add the vanilla and stir.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the mixer bowl and stir to combine. Stir in the oats and raisins.
  • Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, place 2 inch mounds of dough on the prepared baking sheets leaving a couple inches in between because they will spread.
  • Bake in a 350 degree oven for 15 - 17 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for a couple minutes on the baking sheet and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Store in an airtight container.

To make puffier, more cake like cookies, replace the baking soda with 1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder and proceed as instructed.
