Categories     Dessert

Time 1h27m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup unsalted butter
2 cups raisins
1½ tablespoons pure vanilla extract
1½ tablespoons ground cinnamon
2¼ cups all-purpose flour
1½ teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup granulated sugar
1 cup golden brown sugar
2 large eggs

Steps:

  • Prepare the raisins: Add the butter to a medium-sized sauce pot and place it over low-medium heat. Once the butter has melted, turn the heat to low. Add the raisins, vanilla and cinnamon and stir to blend. Cover and let this gently simmer for 10 minutes. Then turn the heat off, keep the pot covered, and let it sit for 50 minutes.
  • Preheat oven and prep baking sheets: While the raisins are soaking, preheat the oven to 350°F. Cover 2 baking sheets with parchment paper, set aside, and adjust two racks towards the center of the oven.
  • Mix dry ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt and baking soda. Set aside. Add both sugars to a large mixing bowl and set aside.
  • Combine all of the ingredients: Once the raisins are done soaking, add the mixture to the bowl with the sugar and mix to blend. Then add the eggs and mix until they are fully incorporated. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix just until you no longer see any dry spots.
  • Shape the batter: Use a cookie scoop (approximately 2¼ inch) to drop the batter onto the parchment-lined baking sheets. Gently press each one down about a bit with the palm of your hand. There should be a couple of inches between them.
  • Bake the cookies: Bake in the preheated 350°F oven until they're set and slightly golden along the edges, about 12 minutes.
  • Cool the cookies: Let them cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes and then transfer them to a cooling rack.

RAISIN CRUNCH COOKIES



Raisin Crunch Cookies image

From Food & Family Spring 2007. I made these without the coconut by increasing both the oatmeal and cereal amounts. It changes the recipe, but it still made for a really good cookie that was crisp around the edges with a soft and chewy center.

  • Measure your ingredients accurately: This is important for any baking recipe, but it's especially important for cookies. If you don't measure your ingredients correctly, your cookies may not turn out the way you want them to.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the cookies, making them light and airy.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The cookies should be baked at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown around the edges.
