Recipe type: Cookie
Serves: 5 dozen
Ingredients
  • ½ cup butter, browned and cooled
  • ½ cup shortening or coconut oil
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1½ cups flour
  • 3 cups oatmeal (I like to use half quick oats and half regular oats, or put all three cups of regular oats into the food processor for a few pulses to break them into smaller pieces.)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 1 cup raisins
Instructions
  1. Brown the butter in a small saucepan on the stove. (Try to do this at least an hour before mixing up the cookies to give it time to slightly cool.) You brown the butter by letting it melt and continue to cook, stirring regularly until the fats brown and settle at the bottom. Once it does this, quickly take it off the burner and transfer the butter to a container so it can cool faster.
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silpat baking mat.
  3. In a stand mixer or with a hand mixer, cream together the browned butter, shortening or coconut oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until nice and fluffy, 1-2 minutes.
  4. Next, add the eggs and vanilla. Mix well for 1 minute.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, oatmeal, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon. Mix well.
  6. Next, combine the butter mixture with the dry mixture until completely mixed together. Then add the raisins and mix until evenly distributed.
  7. Using a cookie scoop, place dough balls 2 inches apart on a large cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
  8. When done, let cookies sit on the cookie sheet for 1-2 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
  9. Enjoy!
