Preheat oven to 180. Cream the butter with the sugars with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Beat in the egg and vanilla until smooth. Stir together the oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Stir the dry ingredients into the batter until just combined. Stir in the raisins. Drop the dough by heaping tablespoons onto large baking sheets (I line mine). Leave 2 inches between each ball of dough. Bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool cookies on sheets for a couple of minutes and then transfer on a rack to cool.

Show more commentsI’m not sure why this recipe says 5oz of butter instead of 6oz or 12 tbs. like the original cookbook says. I always make it with exactly on and a half sticks of butter. I’m not changing it to 5 oz. it might be fine but why mess with perfection? Best oatmeal raisin cookies ever. I’ve been making them for 15 years.
Beware of the flour, oats and sugar quantities. Better to use cup measurements which have ml quantity on them. When one uses a scale the ml measurements will give far too much. Rather confusing mixing grams and mls in a recipe for dry goods and fat. otherwise taste is v good once I worked out correct measurements.
