Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup butter softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup quick-cooking oats
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 cups raisins

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Whisk or electric mixer

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, quick-cooking oats, sea salt, and baking soda.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the raisins until evenly distributed.
  7. Drop rounded balls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
  8. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Ensure butter is softened, not melted for the right texture.
  • Measure flour carefully to avoid dry cookies.
  • Chill dough for at least 30 minutes for better flavor.
  • Watch baking time to prevent overbaking.
