Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

I broke out the trusty Williams-Sonoma Essentials of Baking cookbook last night and tried my hand at some old-fashioned oatmeal cookies! These were so easy to make and are so yummy!

What you need:

• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
• 2 cups raisins

What you need to do:

• In a bowl sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt (funny side note, I did not see this step when I made mine, whoops)
• In a large bowl combine butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar
• Beat on medium speed until smooth
• Add the eggs and vanilla and beat on low speed until well blended
• Add the dry ingredients (you know, the things I forgot to sift) and rolled oats until incorporated
• Mix in raisins
• Drop the dough by heaping tablespoons (I used a cookie scoop) onto baking sheets
• Bake the cookies at 350 degress for 15-20 minutes
• Let cookies cool for 5 minutes on sheet and then transfer to wire racks

Enjoy!!!
