Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Ingredients

• Whisk together and set aside
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• Cream wet ingredients
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup dark brown sugar, firmly packed
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• Then stir in
• 3 cups oats (not instant)
• 1 1/2 cups raisins

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 

Whisk dry ingredients; set aside. Combine wet ingredients with a hand mixer on low. To cream, increase speed to high and beat until fluffy and the color lightens. Stir the flour mixture into the creamed mixture until no flour is visible. (Over mixing develops the gluten, making a tough cookie.) Now add the oats and raisins; stir to incorporate. 

Drop balls of dough 2-inches apart onto baking sheet sprayed with non-stick spray. Bake 11-13 minutes until golden but still moist between cracks on top. 

Remove from oven; let cookies sit on baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool. 

Makes 36 cookies.
