Ingredients

Imperial | Metric | USA

Converted from metric


Directions

Step 1

A mixture of sugar and vanilla extract in a bowl

In a large bowl (the biggest you have!), mix together with a wooden spoon the butter, brown sugar, caster sugar and vanilla. Mix until you have a smooth mixture.

Step 2

A mixture of sugar, eggs and vanilla extract

Now add the eggs, the mixture will look ruined but mix for a couple of minutes and it will be a smooth mixture again.

Step 3

Cookie mixture in a bowl apart from the oats and raisins

Add the flour,cinnamon, salt and bicarbonate of soda and mix again.

Step 4

Cookie mixture in a bowl

Stir in the oats and raisins ensuring an even spread of the raisins.

Step 5

Cookie mixture ready to be cooked

Use a none stick baking tray or add parchment paper to a baking tray.

With a teaspoon, take a large heaped scoop of the mixture and place on the baking tray. Press down on the biscuit mixture and leave plenty of room between each cookie as they will grow a lot in the oven.

Step 6

Cookies freshly baked on a baking tray

Bake for 10-15 minutes in a preheated oven at 180ºC / 350ºF / gas mark 4. You want them to be brown but if you take them out too early they will remain soft and fall apart easily so do not take them out too soon.

They will remain soft until they have cooled so leave on the baking tray for 5 minutes before removing.

Store in an air-tight container for up to 4 days.

    These cookies are fantastic I used 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, the mixture did make 25 cookies and 13 mins cooking is the perfect cooking time!

Would you tweak this recipe? If so, how?

e.g. Add half a chopped onion, use less butter, shake not stir...
