Ingredients
- 1 cup raisins
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1½ teaspoons fine sea salt
- 1½ sticks slightly softened butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
- 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 cups old-fashioned or rolled oats
- 1 extra-large egg
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions
- Soak raisins in hot water for 30 minutes, then drain. Or for extra flavor, that is out of this world, soak your raisins in bourbon for 8 hours in the fridge!
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, sift together flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
- Using an electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugars on medium speed until light and fluffy, scraping down frequently. Take care not to overbeat.
- Add flour mixture to creamed butter and sugar and mix on low speed until combined. Mix in oats, followed by drained raisins, egg and vanilla.
- Use a ¼-cup measure to scoop dough onto a parchment-paper lined baking sheet. Flatten each blob with the base of the measuring cup.
- To bake cookies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake until cookies are golden-brown on the outside but still soft in the middle, about 17 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool.
