Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

The other day I tried one of these cookies and had to make them.

So glad I did.

Kudos to Chef Anette for sharing! :)

I love the recipe, and to be honest... I usually hate Oatmeal Raisin cookies.

This recipe is a keeper!!

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Source: Culinary Institute of America

Makes 48 cookies

Flourless cooking spray for greasing

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp salt

2 cups (4 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature

2 cups tightly packed light brown sugar

1 cup granulated sugar

2 tsp vanilla extract

3 large eggs

5 cups rolled oats

1 1/4 cups dark raisins Maldon Salt for top of cookies

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Sift flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt into a bowl and set aside.

In a stand mixer use paddle attachment to cream together the butter, sugars, and vanilla on medium speed until smooth and a light texture, approx. 2 minutes. Add eggs one at a time beating well after each one. Add the dry ingredients on low speed. Then fold in the oats and raisins. Chill dough for 10 minutes.

Divide the dough into four and roll each section into parchment paper to make a foot long log. Refrigerate until firm enough to cut. -30 mins-

Slice logs into cookies, sprinkle with a tiny pinch of Maldon salt and bake 2 inches apart. Bake 12-15 minutes. Cool on wire rack.
