Oatmeal Cookies With Rum Soaked Raisins Food

OATMEAL RUM RAISIN COOKIES

Steps:

• 1. In a small bowl, combine the raisins, rum, and grated orange zest. Allow to soak for 30 minutes until most of the rum is absorbed. You can also do this the night before to give the raisins a good long soak.
• 2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
• 3. In a separate large bowl (or the bowl of your stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment), cream together butter and sugar until light and airy, about 5 minutes. (Or about 2 to 3 minutes if using the stand mixer.) Add the eggs in one at a time, making sure to scrape down the sides with each addition. Mix until well-combined.
• 4. Switching to a spatula, add the flour mixture into the wet in two parts. Finally, add the rum-infused raisins, grated orange zest, and any leftover rum. Mix well so the raisins are well-distributed in the dough. Refrigerate at least 1 hour so they don't become too flat when they bake.
• 5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) about 20 minutes before ready to bake. Line two baking sheets with non-stick parchment paper. Portion the cookies into 1 Tablespoon-sized mounds (or more if you like it bigger) and place at least an inch apart on your baking sheet.
• 6. Bake cookies for 13 to 15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Let sit on the baking sheet for about 2 minutes before removing to a rack to cool. Store in an airtight container for about a week.
