Author: 
Serves: 60 Cookies
 
Ingredients
  • 1½ cups raisins
  • 3 cups old fashioned oats
  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 tsp. cinnamon
  • ½ tsp. baking powder
  • ½ tsp. baking soda
  • ¾ tsp. salt
  • 1 cup oil
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 360 degrees F.
  2. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  3. Measure out the raisins into a small heatproof bowl. Cover the raisins with boiling water and set aside.
  4. Measure out the oats and pulse them in a food processor a few times until they are chopped up but not too fine and powdery.
  5. In a medium sized bowl combine the dry ingredients (oats, flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt).
  6. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the oil and the sugar and mix to combine.
  7. Add in the eggs and vanilla and mix until combined.
  8. Stir in most of the oat mixture and mix to combine.
  9. Strain the raisins well and discard the water.
  10. Mix the raisins with the remaining oat mixture and stir to coat the raisins well.
  11. Fold or gently stir the oat coated raisins into the rest of the cookie dough trying not to break the raisins up.
  12. Scoop dough using a medium sized cookie scoop (1½ Tbs.) onto prepared cookie sheet. These cookies do spread a bit in the oven so leave space between each one. Bake for about 12 minutes until the edges are just lightly toasted brown.
  13. Allow to cool before transferring to wire rack.
