Ingredients

1/2 cup butter 113g
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 salt
1 1/2 cups quick oats
1 1/2 cups raisins

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with both sugars and the vanilla until the mixture is light and fluffy. This usually takes 2–3 minutes with a hand or stand mixer. Don’t rush this step – it’s what gives you that soft centre and slightly crisp edge.
Add the eggs and beat until well combined.
Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined.
Gently fold in the oats.
Add in the raisins and stir gently until they’re well distributed.
Scoop out the dough using a 1.5 tbsp cookie scoop (or a heaped tablespoon) onto a lined baking tray, leaving a bit of space between each one. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden and crisp.
Let the cookies sit on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. They’ll firm up as they cool.
