Ingredients
- 115g unsalted butter, softened
- 125g soft light brown sugar
- 1 large free-range egg
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 95g plain flour
- ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
- 120g rolled oats
- 120g raisins
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/gas 4 and line a large baking sheet with baking paper. Put the butter, sugar, egg and vanilla into a large bowl, then cream together with an electric hand mixer until smooth.
- In a separate mixing bowl, mix the flour with the bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon and salt. Stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture to form a dough, then add the oats and raisins and stir to combine. Wrap the dough in cling film, then chill in the fridge for 10 minutes.
- With damp hands, roll the dough into equal-size balls, using about 2 tbsp mixture for each (or see tip). Flatten into patties, then arrange on the prepared baking sheet, 5cm apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden at the edges but still looking a little underbaked on top. Remove the cookies from the oven and leave on the hot baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
