## Ingredients
|
|
|
|
- 1 cup raisins or cranberries
|
|
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
|
|
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
|
|
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
|
|
- 1½ teaspoons fine sea salt
|
|
- 1½ sticks slightly softened butter
|
|
- 1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
|
|
- 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
|
|
- 2 cups old-fashioned or rolled oats
|
|
- 1 extra-large egg
|
|
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
|
|
|
|
## Method
|
|
Preheat oven to 350°F/176°C. Grease baking sheets or use baking paper.
|
|
|
|
1. Soak raisins in hot water for 30 minutes, then drain.
|
|
2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, sift together flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
|
|
3. Using an electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugars on medium speed until light and fluffy, scraping down frequently. Take care not to overbeat.
|
|
4. Add flour mixture to creamed butter and sugar and mix on low speed until combined. Mix in oats, followed by drained raisins, egg and vanilla.
|
|
5. Use a ¼-cup measure to scoop dough onto a parchment-paper lined baking sheet. Flatten each blob with base of measuring cup.
|
|
6. To bake cookies: Bake until cookies are golden-brown on the outside but still soft in the middle, about 17 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest on baking sheet a few minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool.

## Notes
|
|
Original recipe says to cover and chill the dough in the refrigerator for a few days, but I don't do that.
