Equipment

  • 1 baking tray
  • 1 stand mixer with flat beater attachment
  • 1 cookie scoop

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 410℉
  • Plump the raisins by soaking them for 15 minutes in just enough warm water to cover. Once plumped drain them of the water and pat dry with a clean paper towel.
  • Combine all dry ingredients except for sugars (all-purpose flour, cake flour, oats, raisins, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, baking soda and salt) in a bowl and set aside
  • In a mixing bowl, add butter along with brown and granulated sugars and beat together until just combined (not fluffy).
  • Add eggs to mixing bowl and continue beat until mixture is uniform.
  • Add the rest of the dry ingredients to the mixing bowl and beat until all the flour is combined.
  • To form your cookies you may either:
    Log roll method: Scoop the dough onto a sheet of plastic wrap and roll the plastic wrap over dough whilst forming the dough into a log. Once done, slice the dough into half-inch slices
    Cookie scoop method: using a cookie or ice cream scoop, scoop dough into balls on parchment paper and flatten with spatula or your palm until half-an inch thick.
  • Place cookie dough on a baking tray lined with parchment paper with at least an inch of space between them and bake for 10 minutes (up to 11 minutes for a firmer cookie).
  • Best enjoyed warm but if not eating right away, store in an airtight container and zap in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to enjoy warm!
