Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1 1/4 tsp flour
- 2 cup oats (quick or old-fashioned)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 – 1 1/2 cup raisins (If you don’t care for raisins, you can use chocolate chips instead)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, beat together the butter and sugars until fluffy and creamy. Add the egg and vanilla and beat another minute, until completely blended.
- Add the remaining dry ingredients and mix or stir by hand just until combined, being careful to not overmix.
- Roll tablespoons of dough into balls or use a cookie scoop. Place at least a 1/2 inch apart on baking sheets. Bake at 375 for 12-15 minutes, until lightly golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
