Equipment

Baking Sheet
Hand Mixer

Ingredients

10 Tbsp salted butter, softened $1.33
1/2 cup granulated white sugar $0.17
1/2 cup brown sugar $0.27
1 egg $0.14
1 tsp vanilla extract $0.25
1 cup all-purpose flour $0.20
1/2 tsp salt $0.02
1/2 tsp baking soda $0.02
1/2 tsp cinnamon $0.05
1.5 cups old-fashioned rolled oats $0.39
3/4 cup raisins $0.93

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl, add the softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar. Blend the ingredients together with a hand mixer until smooth.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and blend with the sugar mixture until smooth.
Next in a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon) until well combined. Add the rolled oats to the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
Add all of the dry ingredients to the same bowl as the sugar mixture. Blend the ingredients together with a hand mixer on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Next add the raisins to the bowl and fold them into the cookie dough with a spatula.
Using a medium cookie scoop or your hands, scoop the cookie dough into roughly 2 Tbsp portions then roll into a ball. Place the cookies on a parchment lined baking sheet about 2-3 inches apart. You'll likely need to cook the cookies in two batches, so keep the remaining dough chilled until ready to roll and bake.*
Bake the cookies for 13-14 minutes or until lightly golden brown. The center of the cookies may look too soft when you remove them from the oven, but keep in mind the cookies will continue to set as they cool. Let the cookies cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

Notes

*Feel free to chill the entire dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes if you do not want the cookies to spread too much.
