Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 27m

Yield 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups quick-cooking oats
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400°.

  • Beat butter in the bowl of an electric mixer until softened; beat in sugars until well blended; beat in the eggs, one at a time, blending well after each addition; beat in vanilla, fold in the flour mixture with a spatula.

  • Bake until lightly browned and edges are set, 12-15 minutes.
  • Cool cookie sheets on a wire cake rack 1-2 minutes; gently remove the cookies from the sheets to the rack; cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. This will ensure that your cookies have the best flavor and texture.
  • Measure your ingredients accurately. This is especially important for baking, as even a small difference in the amount of an ingredient can affect the outcome of your cookies.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the cookies, making them light and airy.
  • Do not overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time. Underbaking will result in soft, gooey cookies, while overbaking will result in hard, dry cookies.
