Total Time: 22 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 12 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 32
• 12 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (175g)
• 3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar (160g)
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar (130g)
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups rolled oats (170g)
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (160g)
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups raisins, if desired (200g)

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 375°f/190°c/gas mark 5.
• 2 cream together; butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
• 3 add egg and vanilla extract; beat until well combined.
• 4 in a small bowl combine oats, flour, soda, baking powder and salt.
• 5 mix into butter mixture until just combined.
• 6 stir in raisins if desired.
• 7 drop the dough by heaped tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving a 2" gap between each mound.
• 8 tip: i used a dessert-spoon and made ovals rather than balls (quenelles, if we're being posh) as i heard that this caused the dough to spread less.
• 9 bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
• 10 cool on sheet for at least a minute before transferring to a rack.
