  • Total Time: 28 minutes
  • Yield: 18 servings (cookies)

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 10 Tbsp salted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1.5 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

Add-ins

  • 3/4 cup raisins

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures the oven is ready for baking the cookies evenly.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Use a hand mixer to blend until smooth and creamy, which helps achieve a tender cookie texture.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Add the egg and vanilla bean paste to the butter and sugar mixture. Continue blending with the hand mixer until fully incorporated and smooth for even flavor distribution.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon until well mixed. Stir in the rolled oats to coat them with the dry ingredients.
  5. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture bowl. Using the hand mixer on low speed, blend just until combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the cookies tender.
  6. Fold in Raisins: Add the raisins and gently fold them into the cookie dough with a spatula, ensuring even distribution without breaking down the dough.
  7. Shape Cookies: Using a medium cookie scoop or your hands, portion the dough into roughly 2 Tbsp balls. Place the cookie dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them 2-3 inches apart. Chill any remaining dough while baking in batches.
  8. Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 13-14 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown. The centers may look soft but will firm up as they cool.
  9. Cool Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter for easier mixing and better texture.
  • Do not overmix the dough once the dry ingredients are added to prevent tough cookies.
  • Spacing cookies properly on the sheet allows them to spread evenly while baking.
  • Chill extra dough if baking in multiple batches to maintain shape.
  • These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • For chewier cookies, substitute some raisins with chopped nuts or chocolate chips.
