Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups raisins ((Note 1))
1 1/2 cups flour (all purpose / plain)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon powder
250g / 8 oz (2 sticks) unsalted butter (, at room temperature (Note 2))
1 cup brown sugar ((packed))
1 cup white sugar ((granulated. Superfine/caster also ok))
2 large eggs (, at room temperature (Note 3))
3 cups rolled oats ((Note 4))

Steps:

Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan). Adjust oven racks to middle and low position, ensuring you have 4"/10cm between each rack. Line 2 trays with parchment/baking paper.
Optional: Soak raisins in boiled water for 10 minutes. Drain then pat dry. (This makes them plumper).
Sift dry ingredients: Sift flour, salt, baking powder and cinnamon into a bowl.
Cream butter and sugar: Using a stand mixer or electric mixer, beat butter until creamy. Then beat in sugar until fluffy - about 2 - 3 minutes.
Add eggs: Beat in eggs one at a time until incorporated.
Mix in flour: Use a wooden spoon to stir the flour mixture in.
Stir in oats and raisins: Stir in oats and raisins - this requires a bit of effort as the dough gets firm!
Roll and flatten balls: Form 4cm / 1.6" balls (~18) and place onto baking trays 4"/10cm apart. I use an ice cream scoop. Then press down to slighty flatten into a thick disc shape.
Bake for 11 minutes. Then swap the trays between the shelves AND turn the trays around. Bake for a further 11 - 14 minutes, or until cookies are golden on the edges and LIGHT golden on the surface.
Cool on the trays for 5 minutes before transferring to cooling rack. Cool for 30 minutes before serving.

Tips:

Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
Bake the cookies at the right temperature. The temperature will vary depending on the recipe, but most cookies should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Don't overbake the cookies. Overbaking can make the cookies dry and crumbly.
