Ingredients
- ½ Cup Unsalted butter, softened (1 full stick)
- ¼ Cup White Sugar
- ½ Cup Light Brown Sugar
- 1 Tbsp Maple Syrup
- 1 Large Egg
- ½ tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 Cup All - Purpose Flour
- ½ tsp Cinnamon
- ½ tsp Baking Powder
- ½ tsp Baking Soda
- ½ tsp Kosher Salt
- 1½ Cup Old Fashioned Oats
- ½ Cup Raisins
Instructions
- Cream together the butter, egg, white sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. The mixture will take on a pale brown color.
- Mix the maple syrup into the egg and sugar mixture.
- In separate bowl, mix together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt.
- Fold in the flour mixture with a spatula until just incorporated. You don't want to overmix it.
- Stir in the oats and raisins.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes. This will make it easier to scoop and roll the dough as well as prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
- After the dough has chilled, roll the dough into 1.5 ounce balls (a little larger than golf ball sized - you'll get about 18) Preheat the oven to 350° while you do this.
- Place the balls on a parchment paper lined baking sheet, I was able to fit 9 of them on the tray.
- Bake for 12 minutes. The cookies will look a little soft but will set as they cool. Baking for 14 minutes may result in some tough cookies.
