Jumbo Raisin Cookies

These soft-baked jumbo raisin cookies are the perfect treat to satisfy your sweet tooth. Packed with plump raisins and a hint of vanilla, these chewy cookies are a nostalgic favorite that’s easy to whip up and perfect for snacking on the go.

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 3/4 cup white granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup jumbo raisins

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Set aside.

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

Gradually mix in the flour mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Stir in the jumbo raisins.

Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Let’s get baking!

Notes

Use high-quality jumbo raisins for the best flavor and texture.

If using salted butter, omit the 1 tsp of salt.

Don’t overmix the dough, as it can lead to tough cookies.

If desired, chill the dough for up to 2 hours to help the cookies retain their shape while baking.

To ensure even baking, make sure to leave enough space between each cookie on the baking sheet.

Cookies will be soft and chewy when freshly baked, but will firm up as they cool.

Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
