Ingredients

  • 1 cup (155 g) raisins
  • 1 cup warm water, 105°-115°F
  • 1 cup (2 sticks / 227 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200 g) brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups (270 g) old-fashioned oats
  • 1 ½ cups (188 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  • Place the raisins in a medium bowl. Pour warm water over them and set aside to soak.
  • To the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, add the butter and sugars. Mix on medium speed for 2-3 minutes, or until fully incorporated and fluffy.
  • Add in the eggs and vanilla. Mix until combined.
  • Turn the mixer off. Add oats, flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
  • With the mixer on low, mix until just combined.
  • Drain the excess water from the raisins. Then, mix them into the cookie dough.
  • Cover and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • When ready to bake the cookies, preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Using a 2-tablespoon scoop, drop dough onto the lined baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each.
  • Bake for 11-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The top of the cookie may appear a little wet, but they will continue to bake out of the oven.
  • Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
