Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Ingredients

• •1 cup butter
• •1 cup brown sugar
• •2 eggs
• •1 tsp vanilla extract
• •1 1/2 cups flour
• •1 tsp baking soda
• •1 tsp cinnamon
• •1/2 tsp salt
• •3 cups rolled oats
• •1 cup raisins

Steps

1. 1.Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. 2.Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat and continue cooking, swirling occasionally, until it turns golden brown and smells nutty, then let cool slightly - this browned butter is what gives the cookies their deep, butterscotch-like flavor.
3. 3.Whisk the browned butter and brown sugar together, then beat in the eggs and vanilla.
4. 4.Mix in the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt, then fold in the oats and raisins.
5. 5.Drop spoonfuls onto a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until just golden at the edges - pulling them while the centers still look slightly underdone is what keeps them chewy instead of dry.
