Oatmeal raisin cookies, a soft and chewy cookies prepared with instant oats, egg, raisin and other ingredients. Best tasting cookies that you must try.

• 2 1/2 to 3 cups - Instant oats/quick oats
• 3/4 cup - Wheat flour
• 10 to 20 no's - Raisins
• 1 cup - unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
• 1 cup- Brown sugar (or use regular sugar)
• 1 no - Egg
• 1 tsp - Vanilla essences
• 1 tsp- baking soda
• 1/2 tsp- cinnamon powder
• 1/4 tsp- salt
• 1/4 cup - Milk (optional) use if needed

Preparation method:

1. Mix the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, using a hand mixer or a electric mixer, beat the butter until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the brown sugar and beat until creamed, about 2 minutes.
3. Add the egg and vanilla essence and beat until combined, about 1 minute.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients along with raisins and mix well until combined. Now add the oats little at a time and mix well gently. Dough will be thick and sticky. Cover and set the dough for at least 30 minutes to an hour. I allow to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before rolling and baking because the dough will be quite hard.
5. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or aluminium foil. Set aside.
6. Use a large ice cream scoop to scoop the cookie dough, and place 4 inches apart on the baking sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned on the sides. The centers will look very soft.
7. Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. The cookies might look under-baked, but they will continue to set as they cool. Soft and chewy oatmeal raisin cookie is ready!
