Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound salted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 extra large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tsps vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3 cups old-fashioned or large flake oats
  • 1 1/2 cups Thompson raisins

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Using an electric mixer with the paddle attachment on medium-high speed, beat the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. With the mixer on low, add the eggs and vanilla and mix well.
  • Whisk the flour, baking powder and cinnamon together in a large bowl. With the mixer on low, slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Add the oats and raisins and mix until just incorporated.
  • Using a small ice cream scoop (I use 1.5 inch), or a Tablespoon, drop mounds of dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spacing them a few inches apart. Flatten the cookie dough slightly with a dampened hand. Bake until lightly browned, about 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a baking rack to cool.
