The Best Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Ingredients:

• 1 cup premium flour
• 1 and 1/4 teaspoons coarse salt
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
• 110 g unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 1 large egg, room temperature
• 2.5 cups oatmeal
• 1 cup raisins

Preparation:

1. Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon until evenly distributed. In a large bowl, beat the brown sugar and butter with a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the honey, vanilla extract, egg, and 1 tablespoon of warm water and beat on high speed until creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl, about 3 more minutes.
3. Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the oats and mix on low speed to evenly distribute. Stir in the raisins to distribute evenly. Drop twelve mounds of dough (2 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake until the cookies are lightly browned around the edges, 15 to 20 minutes.
4. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Let the baking sheet cool completely, then repeat with the remaining cookie dough.
   
   
   When measuring flour, spoon it into a dry measuring cup and remove any excess. Scooping flour directly from the bag with a measuring cup will compact it, resulting in dry baked goods.
