Makes 4 Dozen

Ingredients:

2 sticks / 1 cup of Unsalted Butter, at room temperature 
¾ of a cup of Brown Sugar
¾ of a cup of Regular Sugar
3 Cups of Quick Cooking (or old fashioned) Oats
2 Eggs
1 tsp of Vanilla Extract
½ tsp of Salt
1 tsp Baking Soda
¾ of a tsp of Cinnamon
1 ¼ of a cup of All Purpose Flour
1 cup of Raisins

 

 

Process
1) Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
 

2) In a small bowl, mix together the flour, salt, baking soda and cinnamon. Set aside.
 

3) In the large bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or a hand held beater, cream together the first 3 ingredients. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix for just a few seconds.
 

4) Add the dry ingredients and mix together to combine but do not over mix,
 

5) Add the oats and raisins and just mix together for about 10 seconds. Just long enough to incorporate the raisins and oats.
 

6) With a rubber spatula, just give everything one last mix by hand from the bottom up, just to insure that all of the ingredients are combined.
 

7) Using a small ice cream scoop, drop the dough on to a non stick baking sheet, a couple inches apart.
 

8) Bake for about 9 to 11 minutes or until lightly golden.
 

9) Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes (to complete the cooking process) before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely
