- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups raisins
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350º F.

- Beat in the eggs and vanilla until everything is well combined.2 large eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Mix in flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon and salt until it is just combined.2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats, 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Fold in raisins until evenly distributed.1 1/2 cups raisins
- Scoop balls of dough onto a lined baking sheet. I like to chill the dough here for 30 minutes to make sure the cookies are nice and thick. This step is optional.
- If you chilled the dough gently press down to slightly flatten the cookies and bake cookies for about 10 minutes. The edges will be golden.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Quick Cooking Oats can be used the will just be thinner. Old Fashioned Oats help keep the cookies thicker and denser.
