I am sure many of you would have tried oatmeal and raisin cookies. But how about just raisin cookies? I decided to make raisin cookies for a change and I really liked the way they turned out, as it was soft and chewy. The recipe is from my favourite website called joyofbaking.com. I have tried baking many of her recipes and they all turn out perfect. You should try making these cookies as they are very easy to make and tasty too 😉.

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour – 260 gm
• Baking powder – 2 tsp
• Salt – 1/4 tsp
• Unsalted butter, at room temperature – 170 gm
• Light brown sugar – 180 gm
• Egg, at room temperature – 1 large
• Vanilla extract – 1 tsp
• Milk – 3 to 4 tbsp
• Dark raisins – 125 gm

Method

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Butter or line two baking sheets with parchment paper. 
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. 
• In the bowl of your electric mixer (or with a hand mixer), beat the butter until smooth and creamy.
• Add the sugar and beat until soft and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
• Beat in egg and vanilla extract. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. 
• Add the flour mixture to the batter and beat until incorporated.
• Add enough milk to make a soft batter.
• Then add the raisins and beat until combined.
• For each cookie, drop about one tablespoon of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches (5 cm) apart.
• Bake the cookies for about 12 – 14 minutes, or until the tops of the cookies are still soft with just a touch of color, yet the edges are golden brown.
• Remove from oven and transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool.
