Oatmeal Raisin Cookies


Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs 
  • 1 1/2 cups rolled or quick-cooking oats
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup raisins
Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Grease 3 baking sheets or spray lightly with cooking spray.

Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.

Place the brown sugar and butter in a large bowl.  Beat with an electric mixer set on high speed until light and fluffy.  Beat in eggs and vanilla until smooth.  Gradually stir in the flour mixture with a wooden spoon until thoroughly combined.  Stir in oats and raisins until blended.

Drop the dough by rounded spoonfuls 1 1/2 inches apart on baking sheets.  Flatten the dough slightly with a fork.

Bake until golden brown, about 12 minutes.  Cool on the sheets for about 2 minutes before transferring to wire racks to finish cooling.

~ This recipe is pretty flexible if you aren't a raisin fan.  Simply replace the raisins with 1 cup of chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, or butterscotch chips. ~
