Whole Wheat Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Servings: 24 50 gram cookies
Ingredients
- ½ cup (1 stick, 4 ounce or 115 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (100 grams) light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup (100 gramsj whole wheat flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon table salt
- 1 ½ cups (120 grams) old-fashioned rolled oats
- ¾ cup (120 grams) raisins
Instructions
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, egg and vanilla until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt together.
- Stir this into the butter/sugar mixture.
- Stir in the oats and raisins.
- At this point you can either chill the dough for a bit in the fridge and then scoop it, or scoop the cookies onto a sheet and then chill the whole tray before baking them. You could also bake them right away, if you’re impatient, but I do find that they end up slighly less thick. Either way, heat oven to 350°F (175°C) before you scoop the cookies, so that it’s fully heated when you’re ready to put them in.
- The cookies should be two inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake them for 10 to 12 minutes (your baking time will vary, depending on your oven and how cold the cookies were going in), taking them out when golden at the edges but still a little undercooked-looking on top. Let them sit on the hot baking sheet for five minutes before transferring them to a rack to cool.
