Ingredients
- ½ cup butter, softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 1 whole egg
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- ¾ cup raisins
Instructions
- 1
Set the oven to 350°F and wait until the indicator light or beep tells you it has finished heating, about 10 minutes.
- 2
Place the softened butter and brown sugar in a large bowl and stir them together with a wooden spoon until smooth and well combined, about 1 minute.
- 3
Crack the egg into the butter-sugar mixture and stir until you see no streaks of white, just one unified yellow color, about 30 seconds.
- 4
Add the flour to the egg mixture and stir until you see no dry flour streaks remaining, about 1 minute.
- 5
Add the oats to the bowl and stir until evenly distributed throughout the dough, about 1 minute.
- 6
Add the raisins to the bowl and stir until they are scattered throughout the dough, about 30 seconds.
- 7
Scoop the dough onto an ungreased baking sheet using a spoon or cookie scoop, spacing each blob about 2 inches apart, making 12 cookies total.
- 8
Place the baking sheet on the middle oven rack and bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until the edges turn golden brown but the centers still look slightly soft.
- 9
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes—they will firm up as they cool.
- 10
Slide a spatula under each cookie and transfer it to a plate or wire rack to cool completely, about 10 minutes.
