Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cup(s) uncooked rolled oats
• 3/4 cup(s) whole-grain wheat flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp table salt
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup(s) regular butter, softened
• 1/2 cup(s) packed brown sugar
• 1/4 cup(s) sugar
• 1 large egg(s)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup(s) raisins, chopped

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350ºF

In a medium bowl, combine oats, flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon; set aside. Using an electric mixer, cream butter and both sugars until incorporated. Add egg and vanilla; mix thoroughly. Add oat mixture and mix until just combined; fold in raisins.

Drop rounded teaspoons of batter onto 2 ungreased cookie sheets, about 1-inch apart each. Bake for 9 to 10 minutes for chewy cookies or 11 to 12 minutes for crispy cookies. Remove from oven and let cookies rest on cookie sheets for about 2 minutes; remove cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
