Recipe type: Cookies
Serves: 24
Ingredients
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup packed light-brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup (the recipe calls for pure grade B syrup aka the fancy stuff but I had Aunt Jemima so…)
  • 1 large egg (room temp)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup raisins
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 325˚
  2. With an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy
  3. Add the maple syrup and mix until combined
  4. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until lighter and fluffier
  5. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon. With the mixer on the lowest setting, gradually add the dry ingredients in 3 increments. Immediately after the dry ingredients are incorporated, stop. You don’t want to over mix otherwise you will get tough, rock-like cookies.
  6. With a rubber spatula, fold in the oats and raisins until combined.
  7. Scoop the dough with an ice cream scoop, making sure there are at least two inches apart on the cookie sheet.
  8. 8.  Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. (I baked them for 16 – shocking I know. Rarely do I bake a cookie for more than 12, but these actually did need a little extra time to brown properly)
