Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup old fashioned oatmeal
- 1 cup black raisins
Instructions
- Using a stand mixer or a hand held electric mixer, cream the butter, sugar and brown sugar.
- Add in the peanut butter and mix well.
- Add in the egg, vanilla and salt. Mix to combine.
- Using a wooden spoon or a spatula, mix in the flour. Once incorporated, add in the oatmeal and raisins and stir to combine.
- Cover the bowl and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using an ice cream scoop, scoop the cookie dough into the baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between the cookies. If you want your cookies flatter, press the top of the cookies just a little bit with your fingers.
- Bake in the oven for 12 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool before serving them.

Notes
- Depending on the butter you use, the cookies might spread a bit so always leave 2 inch space between the cookies on the baking sheet.
- Check the cookies after ten minutes. Once they're golden at the bottom, they're ready. Take them out of the oven, and let them sit on the counter for 10-15 minutes and then they're ready to be served. I like to have my cookies a little bit underdone so they're chewy in the middle.
- You can make the cookie dough beforehand and have it in the fridge. Take the dough out of the fridge once you preheat the oven and place it on the counter. Start scooping onto the baking sheet after 10 minutes.
- Use old fashioned oatmeal for this recipe to get a better texture and consistency.
- You can leave raisins out if you prefer. There won't be a change in the texture or the quality of the cookies.
