Rick’s Oatmeal Raisin Cookies From The Stall Of Second Chances

[amazon_link id=”1472114604″ target=”_blank” ][/amazon_link]Today I’m hosting the book tour for Dana Bate’s new book ‘The Stall Of Second Chances’ and I’ve a recipe to share that is included in the book. So let’s crack open our eggs and sieve our flour and get stuck into Rick’s Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. 

Rick’s Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
For big cookies à la Rick, use an ice-cream scoop with a 2-inch diameter to scoop the dough onto the cookie sheets. For smaller cookies, reduce the baking time. You can use dark raisins if you like, but Rick and I prefer golden ones. This recipe can easily be doubled.
 
Makes 15 cookies
Ingredients:
? cup plain flour
? teaspoon baking powder
? teaspoon ground cinnamon
? teaspoon kosher salt
8 tablespoons (? pound) unsalted butter, at room temperature
? cup light brown sugar, loosely packed
? cup granulated sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1? cups rolled oats (old-fashioned, not quick-cooking)
? cup golden raisins
 
Preheat the oven to 350ËšF. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
 
In a small bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
In a large bowl, beat the butter, brown and granulated
sugar together with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Turn the mixer to low and add the egg, followed by the vanilla.
With the mixer still on low, slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Then add the oats and raisins and mix until just combined.
Using a 2-inch ice-cream scoop, drop the dough onto the baking sheets, spacing the scoops 2–3 inches apart. Flatten the tops slightly with a damp hand. Bake for 15–20 min?utes, until lightly browned but still slightly soft in the centre. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a minute or so, then transfer them to a baking rack and cool completely
