Steps:
- Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan). Adjust oven racks to middle and low position, ensuring you have 4"/10cm between each rack. Line 2 trays with parchment/baking paper.
- Optional: Soak raisins in boiled water for 10 minutes. Drain then pat dry. (This makes them plumper).
- Sift dry ingredients: Sift flour, salt, baking powder and cinnamon into a bowl.
- Cream butter and sugar: Using a stand mixer or electric mixer, beat butter until creamy. Then beat in sugar until fluffy - about 2 - 3 minutes.
- Add eggs: Beat in eggs one at a time until incorporated.
- Mix in flour: Use a wooden spoon to stir the flour mixture in.
- Stir in oats and raisins: Stir in oats and raisins - this requires a bit of effort as the dough gets firm!
- Roll and flatten balls: Form 4cm / 1.6" balls (~18) and place onto baking trays 4"/10cm apart. I use an ice cream scoop. Then press down to slighty flatten into a thick disc shape.
- Bake for 11 minutes. Then swap the trays between the shelves AND turn the trays around. Bake for a further 11 - 14 minutes, or until cookies are golden on the edges and LIGHT golden on the surface.
- Cool on the trays for 5 minutes before transferring to cooling rack. Cool for 30 minutes before serving.

OATMEAL GRANOLA COOKIES
I was in the supermarket one day shopping for a muffin recipe from the Barefoot Contessa. I had picked up french vanilla granola in hopes of using it in the recipe, but when I got home and tasted it the first thing I thought of was oatmeal cookies. So, the kids and I came up with this one. We get around 3 dozen or so from this recipe.

Tips:
- Use old-fashioned oats. Quick oats or instant oats will not give the cookies the same chewy texture.
- Toast the oats before using them. This will help to bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
- Use a combination of brown sugar and white sugar. This will give the cookies a richer flavor.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape.
- Bake the cookies at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help to create chewy cookies with crispy edges.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help to prevent them from becoming too soft.
Conclusion:
Chewy oatmeal granola raisin cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With their chewy texture, sweet flavor, and crunchy granola, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
