While I was sick with a cold over the holidays, I was craving oatmeal cookies. My husband made these for me and I was beyond impressed. I might have actually hidden a few away in the freezer, just for myself over the next week.
Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
3/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup white sugar
1 cup light brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups AP flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 1/3 cups raisins
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, beat the butter until smooth and almost fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the sugars and continue beating until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 4-5 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth again.
In a separate bowl, whisk together all of the dry ingredients except the raisins. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, half at a time. Stir until fully combined. Add the raisins and stir well.
Using a medium size scoop or a rounded tablespoon, drop the dough onto a large baking sheet lined with a silpat mat. Bake for 8-9 minutes. Remove from the oven before the cookies are browned and when they still look soft in the center. Let them cool on the same tray for 5-10 minutes; this will allow them to finish baking without overcooking.
