Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Ingredients

Whisk together and set aside
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Cream wet ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
Then stir in
  • 3 cups oats (not instant)
  • 1 1⁄2 cups raisins

Instructions

1 _ Preheat oven to 350°.

2 _ Whisk dry ingredients; set aside.

3 _ Combine wet ingredients with a hand mixer on low.

4 _ To cream, increase speed to high and beat until fluffy and the color lightens.

5 _ Stir the flour mixture into the creamed mixture until no flour is visible.
(Over mixing develops the gluten, making a tough cookie.) Now add the oats and raisins; stir to incorporate.

6 _ Fill a #40 cookie scoop and press against side of bowl, pulling up to level dough (to measure 2 tablespoons of dough).

7 _ Drop 2-inches apart onto baking sheet sprayed with nonstick spray.

8 _ Bake 11-13 minutes (on center rack), until golden, but still moist beneath cracks on top.

9 _ Remove from oven; let cookies sit on baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
