Preparation

Step 1

Dry Ingredients
Start by setting your oven to bake on 350. Next mix all your dry ingredients in a small bowl and set to the side.


Zesty!
Use your stand up mixer (or a hand mixer) mix together butter, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla and orange zest.


Grapevine
Add your raisins into the mix


Flour Power
Slowly fold in your flour


Oats
Slowly mix in your oats


Scoop or Two
Spray your cookie sheet with non-stick spray and use an ice cream scoop or spoon to scoop out your cookies. I made two sizes, big for the adults and small for my little people.


Lined Up
Bake cookies for about 10 minutes (until golden brown) and allow to cool on a wire rack. I stored mine in a vintage loaf tin separated by wax paper.
