Ingredients
- 1 cup white whole-wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅔ cup packed light brown sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup raisins
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a large bowl, stir together the brown sugar, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the oats and raisins to distribute evenly throughout the batter.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Each batch should make 12 cookies.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may still look slightly soft—that's fine!
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Repeat with the remaining dough.
