Calories: 246kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 cups quick oats
- 2 cups raisins
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉—line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- Cream together butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- Add baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and cornstarch. Mix until blended.
- Slowly alternate, adding oats and flour. Mix until well incorporated.
- Add the raisins and mix just until blended.
- Use a 2-inch cookie scoop to place the cookie dough on a prepared baking sheet. Alternate the baking sheets so you do not scoop the cookie dough onto a hot cookie sheet.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the cookies are slightly golden brown around the bottom edge. Remove the cookies from the baking sheet and place them onto a cooling rack.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- For extra plump and juicy raisins, soak them in egg and vanilla (or warm water) before adding them to the dough.
- Measure ingredients carefully. Use a spoon to scoop flour into your measuring cup and level it off with a knife. Too much flour can lead to try cookies.
- Don't overmix. Mix just until combined to avoid making the texture tough.
- Pull the cookies out of the oven when the edges are golden. The centers may still look slightly underdone but will finish setting as they cool.
- Use a cookie scoop to ensure evenly sized cookies that will bake evenly.
