Soft and Chewy Oatmeal Cookies

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 Cup All-Purpose Flour
• ½ tsp Ground Cinnamon
• ½ tsp Baking Soda
• ¼ tsp Salt
• ½ Cup Unsalted Butter

  Softened
• ¼ cup Brown Sugar
• ¼ cup Granulated Sugar
• 1 Large Egg
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 1 ½ cups Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats
• 1 cup Raisins

  Soak raisins in boiled water for 5-7 minutes, and drain.

Instructions

• 1 First, prepare and measure out all of the oatmeal cookie ingredients.
• 2 Next, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a large
  mixing bowl. Set aside.
• 3 Then, in a stand mixer bowl fitted with a paddle mixer, cream together the
  butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for 1-2 minutes, until combined. Add
  the egg and vanilla extract, and mix again until fully combined.
• 4 Slowly add in the dry ingredient mixture and continue mixing until just
  combined. Then, mix in the oats and raisins using a wooden spoon since the dough
  will start to get really thick and heavy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as
  needed throughout the mixing process.
• 5 Cover the bowl of cookie dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator
  for 30 minutes.
• 6 While the cookie dough is chilling, preheat the oven to 350°F.
• 7 Then, line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats,
  and set them aside.
• 8 Once chilled, remove the dough from the refrigerator. Use a 2 tbsp. cookie dough
  scoop to evenly scoop the dough onto the prepared cookie sheets.
• 9 Bake one sheet of cookies at a time for 10-12 minutes each, or until the cookie
  edges are golden brown and the top is set.
• 10 Remove the oatmeal cookies from the oven and let them cool on the tray for 5
  minutes.
• 11 Finally, transfer the cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely.
