Chewy Spiced Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Steps

  1. Put the raisins in a bowl, cover them with the hot water and let them soak so they plump up.
  2. Drain the raisins in a strainer and pat them dry on a towel.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Stir in the oats.
  4. In a large bowl, beat the butter with both sugars on medium speed until creamy and lighter in color.
  5. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla.
  6. Add the oat mixture and mix on low speed just until no dry flour shows.
  7. Stir in the drained raisins with a spatula.

Steps, continued

  1. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough so it firms up and the oats soak in some moisture.
  2. Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two sheet pans with parchment.
  3. Scoop 2-tablespoon mounds onto the pans, 2 inches apart, about 12 per pan.
  4. Bake until the edges are golden and the centers look puffy and slightly underdone, swapping the pans halfway through.
  5. Let the cookies firm up on the pans, then move them to a rack. Bake the rest of the dough on cooled pans.
