1

Gather the Ingredients

First things first, let's gather the ingredients you'll need. You'll need 1 cup of oats, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1/2 cup of unsalted butter (softened), 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 cup of raisins.

2

Prep the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that it's nice and hot when it's time to bake your cookies.

3

Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, combine the oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well until all the dry ingredients are fully incorporated.

4

Cream the Butter and Sugar

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Use an electric mixer or good ol' fashioned elbow grease until the mixture is light and fluffy.

5

Add the Egg and Vanilla

Once the butter and sugar are creamy, add in the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is well combined.

6

Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures

Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet mixture, stirring well after each addition. This will ensure that all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

7

Fold in the Raisins

Gently fold in the raisins into the cookie dough. Make sure they're evenly distributed for a raisin in every bite!

8

Shape the Cookies

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place them on a lined baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

9

Bake the Cookies

Pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Keep a close eye on them to prevent overbaking!

10

Cool and Enjoy

Once the cookies are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Grab a cookie and enjoy it with a tall glass of milk!
