Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup spelt flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup raisins
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the spelt flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, beating until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Fold in the rolled oats and raisins using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Gently flatten each cookie dough ball slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingertips.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look set.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- • Ensure your butter is truly softened but not melted for the perfect cookie texture • Don't overmix the dough – mix just until ingredients are combined to keep cookies tender • Soak raisins in warm water for 10 minutes before adding to prevent them from burning during baking • Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes and even baking • For extra flavor, try toasting the oats lightly before adding them to the dough • Let cookies cool completely to develop their full flavor and achieve the ideal chewy texture • Store in an airtight container with a slice of bread to keep them soft for up to 5 days
