Ingredients

  • 100 g all purpose flour
  • 120 g butter
  • 20 g granulated sugar
  • 100 g brown sugar
  • 100 g rolled oats
  • 75 g raisins
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 165°Celsius.
  • In a clean bowl, mix together the flour and oats with a spatula and set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, cream butter, salt and both sugars until creamy. Add the egg and continue beating until well incorporated.
  • Add in vanilla extract and beat again for a few more seconds.
  • Finally, add the flour-oats mixture and beat for another few seconds until the flour is well distributed.
  • Add the raisins and mix with a spatula until the raisins are well distributed in the dough.
  • Scoop 1 tablespoon of cookie dough and drop onto a parchment-lined baking tray. Place the cookies slight apart to allow room for spreading.
  • Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 165°Celsius for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven and cool them on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

  • Baking time is typically dependent on the size of your cookies. I shaped mine into 1 tablespoon size. The baking time indicated in the recipe is just nice to make the cookies soft and chewy on the inside and crispy on the edges. If you wish to make larger cookies with a soft and chewy consistency, you would need to increase the time slightly.
  • If you wish to make crunchy oatmeal raisin cookies, for 1 tablespoon cookie size as indicated in the recipe, you would need to increase the time to an additional 3 to 5 minutes.
