(makes 18 cookies)

Ingredients:

• 1 cup butter room temperature butter, equivalent to 2 sticks
• 1 cup dark brown sugar, tightly packed
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 and 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (equivalent to 7.6 ounces)
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 and 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 3 cups instant oats
• 1 cup raisins

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
2. In a very large bowl, beat the butter for about 30 seconds.
3. Add in the brown sugar and white sugar and beat it until it’s creamy.
4. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat until it’s combined.
5. Add the vanilla extract and beat until it’s combined.  These are the wet ingredients.  Set the bowl aside.
6. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.  These are the dry ingredients.
7. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the bowl of wet ingredients and beat until everything is mixed together.
8. Gradually add the oats into the bowl and beat again until everything is mixed together.
9. Add the raisins and beat until they are evenly mixed into the cookie dough.
10. Using a 1/4 measuring cup full of dough for each cookie, scoop out dough, form it into a ball with your hands, and then then slightly flatten it.
11. Bake them 6 to a tray in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes or until slightly browned on the edges.
12. Let them rest for about 10 minutes on the pan and transfer them to a cooling rack once you can move them without them falling apart.  The delay here is very important.
