Best Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

1 1/2 cup unsalted butter

1 cup brown sugar

3/4 cup white sugar

1 large egg

1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

3 cups rolled oats

3/4 tsp. salt

2 1/2 tsp. baking soda

1 1/2 cups raisins

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Line baking sheets with parchment.

In a bowl, cream the butter until fluffy. Add the sugars. Cream together until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract.

Stir together the flour, oats, salt, and baking soda in another bowl. Add to the butter mixture. Mix together. Add the raisins until well combined.

Drop tablespoonfuls* of the mixture in the baking sheets, with 2-inch intervals per cookie. Bake for about 8 to 10 minutes or until the edges are brown and crispy.

Cool on wire racks for at least 5 minutes.

* Use a 1 1/8 inch ice cream/cookie scoop (disher) for this particular recipe to obtain uniform size cookies.

VARIATION: Use chocolate chips instead of raisins.
