Step-by-step instruction without your screen going to sleep

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 2 cups raisins (or dried cranberries)

Utensils

  • Large Bowl
  • Plastic Wrap
  • 2 Baking Sheets
  • Parchment Paper
  • Step 1

    Assemble the hand mixer attachment on the power base, then install the beaters.

  • Step 2

    In a large bowl, add the sugars, butter, and vanilla extract. Press power to begin mixing on speed 1, then gradually increase to speed 4. Mix until the butter and sugar have creamed together, about 1 minute.

  • Step 3

    Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after adding each one.

  • Step 4

    Add the flour, salt, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda to the sugar mixture. Press power to begin mixing on speed 1, then gradually increase to speed 4. Mix until the flour is fully incorporated, about 2 minutes.

  • Step 5

    Add the oats and raisins to the bowl. Press power to begin mixing on speed 1, then gradually increase to speed 3. Mix until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough, about 2 minutes. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour.

  • Step 6

    Preheat the oven to 350°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

  • Step 7

    When the dough has chilled, divide into 24 portions, then roll each into a 1 1/2-inch round ball. Place the cookies about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Place the pans in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.

  • Step 8

    When cooking is complete, remove the cookies from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before moving to a cooling rack and serving.
