Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

One night I got a craving for oatmeal raisin cookies.  I wanted warm, chewy, fresh from the oven cookies.  I went to Pinterest and found a recipe.  Lucky for me I had all of the ingredients.

They were just what  I wanted.  In the comments, someone said that they added some chocolate chips.  After baking half the batter with just raisins, I added some chocolate chips.  They tasted good, but I loved plain raisin ones the best.  I will definitely make these again and again.

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
From: Food.com

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour 

1 teaspoon baking soda 

1 teaspoon baking powder 

1 teaspoon kosher salt 

1 cup unsalted butter, softened 

1 cup sugar 

1 cup dark brown sugar, firmly packed 

2 large eggs 

2 teaspoons vanilla 3 cups oats (not instant) 

1 1/2 cups raisins

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°. 

Whisk dry ingredients; set aside. 

Combine wet ingredients with a hand mixer on low.

To cream, increase speed to high and beat until fluffy and the color lightens. 

Stir the flour mixture into the creamed mixture until no flour is visible. 

Now add the oats and raisins; stir to incorporate. 

Scoop dough balls and drop 2-inches apart onto baking sheet sprayed with nonstick spray. Bake 11-13 minutes (on center rack), until golden, but still moist beneath cracks on top. Remove from oven; let cookies sit on baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.

This makes a lot of cookies.  I would probably half the recipe in the future.
