Ingredients

  • 1 cup 2 sticks butter
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (260 g) lightly spooned into measuring cups and leveled with a knife (very high altitudes may want to try adding 2 additional tablespoons of flour)
  • 1 cup quick-cooking oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt or ¾ teaspoon table salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 cups raisins
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325℉. If desired, line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  • Beat the softened butter, sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and mix until combined.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients (except the raisins). Add to the butter/sugar/egg mixture and mix until combined. Add the raisins and mix until just combined.
  • For jumbo cookies, use a ¼ cup cookie scoop. Or a standard cookie scoop for standard size cookies. Drop the dough by the scoopful onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes (jumbo) or more like 8-10 for smaller cookies. Or until they begin to turn light brown around the edges but still appear soft in the centers.
  • Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire cooling rack and cool completely. Makes about 16 giant cookies or about 32 standard.

Notes

  • Store finished cookies in an airtight container at room temperature and enjoy within 3-4 days for best results.
  • You can also freeze finished cookies on a cookie sheet then transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze up to 2 months.
