Chewy Raisin Oatmeal Cookies


These cookies are definitely yummy and it's the best oatmeal recipe I've found so far.  I've tried it with unsalted butter as well as salted butter.  Unsalted is best.  I've tried it with regular quick oatmeal and it works but it's much better with the "steel cut oatmeal", more flavor and a nicer texture.
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup dark brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla

3 cups oats (not instant)
1 1/2 cups raisins

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Whisk dry ingredients; set aside.
Combine wet ingredients with a hand mixer on low.
To cream, increase speed to high and beat until fluffy and the color lightens.
Stir the flour mixture into the creamed mixture until no flour is visible.  Don't overstir.
Now add the oats and raisins.
Drop 2 tsp. of mixture onto a baking sheet sprayed with nonstick spray.
Bake 11 to 13 (on center rack) until golden, but still moist beneath cracks on top.
Remove from oven; let cookies sit on baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to rack to cool.
