Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
(Source: Girl Who Ate Everything)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter , melted (1½ sticks)
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
1 heaping cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line cookie sheets with
parchment paper. Your cookies turn out so much better with parchment paper. Melt
butter and let cool slightly. Mix flour, baking soda and salt; set aside. In a
medium bowl, cream together the melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar
until well blended. Beat in the cinnamon, vanilla, egg, and egg yolk for 2-3
minutes until light and creamy. Mix in the flour mixture until just blended.
Add the oats, nuts, and raisins. Mix until just blended.
Place 1/4 cup balls of dough onto parchment lined cookie
sheet and bake for 14-16 minutes. Do not overbake. The edges should look brown
and the centers still slightly soft. Let the cookies rest on the cookie sheet
for a couple of minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
