Time 37m

Yield 24 very large cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups butter, room temperature (3 sticks)
1 1/3 cups sugar (10 1/2 ounces)
1 1/3 cups light brown sugar (10 1/2 ounces)
3 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups old fashioned oats
2 cups flour, and
2 tablespoons flour (8 1/2 ounces total)
3/4 cup wheat germ
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups golden raisins (1/2 pound)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. With the mixer running, add the eggs, one at a time, until each is incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the oats, flour, wheat germ, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
  • With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients until just combined. Gently fold in the raisins.
  • Line several baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop one-fourth cup dough for each cookie and slightly flatten them, leaving 2 inches between each cookie (they will spread). Slightly flatten the top of each cookie and bake one tray at a time, on the center rack, for consistent baking and coloring. The cookies will be done when set and lightly colored and the edges are slightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes.
