Ingredients

  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 115g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
  • 100g (1/2 cup) granulated sugar

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 120g (1 1/2 cups) rolled oats
  • 150g (1 cup) raisins

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and mix until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Stir in the rolled oats and raisins until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  9. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes/Tips

  • If you prefer a more chewy texture, slightly underbake the cookies by reducing the baking time by a minute or two.
