Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 2/3 cup light brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 3/4 tsp. cinnamon
- Dash of nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
- 3/4 cup of raisins
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a small bowl add the raisins and cover with water. Let them sit for five minutes. This will help plump them up.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, egg and vanilla until smooth and creamy. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the butter/sugar mixture. Blend until combined. Stir in the oats and raisins.
Spoon about a tablespoon of dough into a round ball, leaving space between each cookie. They will spread a little. Bake them for 10 to 12 minutes. Take them out when they are golden at the edges but still a little under baked in the middle. Let them sit on the hot baking sheet for five minutes before transferring them to cooling rack.
