This recipe came in the mail from Great American Home Baking. It's one of those recipe card collections where you sign up and they send you recipes to collect in a binder. I must have made mine bigger/thicker than intended because the picture shows really crispy, thin cookies. Mine are not like that at all. Not that mine taste bad by any means, but not like the photo.
1 1/2 c flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 c firmly packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 sticks, softened butter
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 c quick cooking oats
1 c raisins (I used 2/3 c raisins, 1/3 c chocolate chips)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees (maybe that was my problem...I cooked at 375!)
Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
Place the brown sugar and butter in a large bowl. Beat w/electric mixer set on high speed until light and fluffy. beat in the eggs and vanilla until smooth. Gradually stir in the flour mixture with a wooden spoon until thoroughly combined (also just used my mixer for this! Are you starting to get a feel for why mine didn't turn out as it should have?)
Stir in the oats and raisins (and chocolate chips) until blended. Drop the dough by rounded spoonfuls 1 1/2 inches apart on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Flatten the dough slightly w/a fork. Bake until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Cook on the baking sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer to wire racks. Serve warm or at room temperature.
I got 50 cookies out of this batch and it came to ww+ pts a piece
