Ingredients
- 125 g salted butter softened
- 100 g light brown soft sugar
- 50 g caster sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 150 g plain flour
- ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 150 g rolled oats
- 125 g raisins
Instructions
- Beat the softened butter, light brown sugar and caster sugar together until smooth and creamy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat until combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the plain flour, bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon and salt. Stir into the butter mixture until just combined.
- Fold in the rolled oats and raisins. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan) and line two baking trays with baking paper.
- Divide the dough into approximately 18 portions. Roll loosely into balls and place on the trays, leaving about 5cm between each one. Gently flatten into thick discs, approximately 1.5cm thick.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the centres still look soft.
- Leave the cookies on the baking trays for 10 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
