Ingredients
 

Equipment

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

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 410℉
  2. 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.
  3. 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
  4. In a mixing bowl, add butter along with brown and granulated sugars and beat together until just combined (not fluffy).
  5. Add eggs to mixing bowl and continue beat until mixture is uniform.
  6. Add the rest of the dry ingredients to the mixing bowl and beat until all the flour is combined.
  7. 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.
  8. 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).
  9. 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!
