Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter softened
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup applesauce
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 cups quick oats
- ½ cup raisins
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter, sugar, and brown sugar together until the mixture looks smooth and creamy.
- Add the egg and mix on medium speed until it is fully combined with the sugar mixture.
- Pour in the applesauce and vanilla extract. Mix again until everything is well blended.
- Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Add the oats. Stir gently until the dough just comes together. Try not to overmix.
- Fold in the raisins with a spoon so they are evenly spread throughout the dough.
- Use a cookie scoop or spoon to gather portions of dough. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie. Bake the cookies for about 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies rest on the pan for about 2 minutes. This helps them finish setting.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and let them cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
