Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup flour
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 cups old fashioned oats
  • 1 cup raisins
  • ½ cup butter room temperature
  • 1 egg room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • pinch salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the white sugar, brown sugar, butter, vanilla, and egg until the color has lightened.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture, about 1/4 cup at a time, scraping the sides of the bowl as you go. Mix until well combined, and the dough should be smooth and soft but not sticky.
  • Pour in the old fashioned oats while the mixer stirs at a medium-low speed. Add 1/2 cup of oats at a time, followed by the raisins, a few tablespoons at a time, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  • Roll the dough into 1-inch balls using your hands and arrange them onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the tops of the cookies are just cracking.
  • Allow the cookies to rest on the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy!
