Recipe video above. If you love your oatmeal cookies soft and chewy, this is THE Oatmeal Raisin Cookie recipe for you! Crispy on the edges, buttery with the faintest waft of cinnamon and studded with plump juicy raisins, these keep really well and smell heavenly when they're in the oven.This is a Cook's Illustrated recipe and they found the key to achieving this are: a) the size (these are larger than usual) and b) using baking powder, not baking soda.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan). Adjust oven racks to middle and low position, ensuring you have 4"/10cm between each rack. Line 2 trays with parchment/baking paper.
2
Optional: Soak raisins in boiled water for ⏱️ 10 minutes. Drain then pat dry. (This makes them plumper).
3
Sift dry ingredients: Sift flour, salt, baking powder and cinnamon into a bowl.
4
Cream butter and sugar: Using a stand mixer or electric mixer, beat butter until creamy. Then beat in sugar until fluffy - about ⏱️ 2 - 3 minutes.
5
Add eggs: Beat in eggs one at a time until incorporated.

6
Mix in flour: Use a wooden spoon to stir the flour mixture in.
7
Stir in oats and raisins: Stir in oats and raisins - this requires a bit of effort as the dough gets firm!
8
Roll and flatten balls: Form 4cm / 1.6" balls (~18) and place onto baking trays 4"/10cm apart. I use an ice cream scoop. Then press down to slighty flatten into a thick disc shape.
9
Bake for ⏱️ 11 minutes. Then swap the trays between the shelves AND turn the trays around. Bake for a further ⏱️ 11 - 14 minutes, or until cookies are golden on the edges and LIGHT golden on the surface.
10
Cool on the trays for ⏱️ 5 minutes before transferring to cooling rack. Cool for ⏱️ 30 minutes before serving.
