Big Fat Oatmeal Raisin Cookies Food

OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIE (SOFT & CHEWY)

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.

THE BEST OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES

Steps:

• Arrange an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda and cinnamon in a small bowl until combined. Beat the brown sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the honey, vanilla, egg and 1 tablespoon warm water and beat on high speed until creamy, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl, about 3 minutes more. Add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed, scraping the bowl as needed, until completely combined. Add the oats and beat on low speed until combined. Fold in the raisins until evenly distributed. Arrange twelve 1-ounce scoops (2-tablespoon portions) of cookie dough on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each. Bake until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool on the sheet for 10 minutes, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Let the baking sheet cool, and then repeat with the remaining cookie dough.

• Parchment makes for easy cookie removal and cleanup, but it's not a necessity.
• If you don't use parchment, let the cookies cool directly on the baking sheet for two minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
