Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter (170 gr or 1 and 1/2 sticks), soft, at room temperature
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 3 cups (270 gr) old-fashioned rolled oats (do not use instant oats)
  • If you decide to soak your raisins you'll need: 1 cup rum , whisky or warm water

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F (180 C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • Soak raisins in rum, whisky or warm water, whichever you prefer.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer cream together butter and brown sugar, for 3 minutes.
  • Add egg and 2 tsp vanilla extract and mix for another minute.
  • In a separate bowl combine flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon and oats. Stir until well combined.
  • Add oat mixture to the butter sugar mixture and beat until incorporated. Scrape the sides of the bowl.
  • Drain raisins and add them to the the cookie batter, stirring with a spatula. I don't use the mixer for this part.
  • Using an ice-cream scoop (large cookie scoop), drop dough onto cookie sheets, leaving at least 2 inches apart, because they'll spread. You can also press them down with your palm, until they are about 1/2 inch thick.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are brown, but center isn't set.
  • Remove from oven and place on a cooling rack for 15 minutes.
