Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup raisins

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

• 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats

• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

• 1/4 teaspoon fine salt

• 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar

• 1/4 cup granulated sugar

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature

• 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt

• 1/2 teaspoon non-alcohol vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Soak the raisins in hot water for 5 minutes and then drain. 

2. Sift flour into a medium bowl, then whisk in the oats, cinnamon, baking powder and salt. 

3. Beat the light brown sugar, granulated sugar, butter, yogurt and vanilla with an electric mixer on medium-high speed in a large bowl until well combined, about 2 minutes. Add the flour-oat mixture and mix on low speed until well incorporated. Turn off the beaters and use your hands to help combine if needed. Fold in the raisins with a rubber spatula or mix them in with your hands. 

4. Roll tablespoons of the dough into balls. Space out evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F until the edges and bottoms are golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes.
