Oatmeal Raisin Cookies - Old Fashioned

By Maverick19

Makes 3 dozen cookies

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup all purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp kosher salt
• 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats
• 1/2 cup raisins

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and position racks in the upper and lower thirds. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter with both sugars at high speed until pale and fluffy, 2 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla. At low speed, gradually add the flour mixture until just incorporated, then beat in the oats and raisins.
2. Form half of the dough into 1 inch balls and arrange them 2 inches apart on 2 large baking sheets. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until lightly browned; shift the baking sheets from top to bottom and front to back halfway through baking. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a rack to cool completely. Let the baking sheets cool slightly, then repeat with the remaining dough.
