Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Preheat oven to 325℉. If desired, line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.

Beat the softened butter, sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and mix until combined.

In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients (except the raisins). Add to the butter/sugar/egg mixture and mix until combined. Add the raisins and mix until just combined.

For jumbo cookies, use a ¼ cup cookie scoop. Or a standard cookie scoop for standard size cookies. Drop the dough by the scoopful onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes (jumbo) or more like 8-10 for smaller cookies. Or until they begin to turn light brown around the edges but still appear soft in the centers.

Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire cooling rack and cool completely. Makes about 16 giant cookies or about 32 standard.
