Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Ingredients

/2 cup raisins

/2 cup dark brown sugar

/2 cup honey

/2 cup unsalted butter

/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

large egg

1/4 cups quick cooking oats

cup all-purpose flour

/2 teaspoon baking soda

/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place raisins in small bowl and cover with

hot water. Set aside until ready to use.

Combine sugar, honey, butter, and vanilla in a large bowl. Cream with an

electric mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy. (About 6 minutes.)

Add egg and beat until well-blended.

Using a wooden spoon, gently fold oats, flour, baking soda and salt into

sugar mixture. Drain raisins and pat them dry with paper towels and gently

fold them into batter. Transfer batter to refrigerator and chill at least 15 to

0 minutes.

Drop by rounded tablespoons at least 2 inches apart onto lightly greased

baking sheets. Bake until golden-brown and almost set, about 12 minutes.

Remove from oven and let stand on baking sheet until firm, about 4

minutes. Remove cookies from pan and serve immediately, or store in an

airtight container.
