How to Make Bestest Oatmeal Cookies For Mysterygirl

  1. If using raisins: cover 1 cup raisins with warm water, soak for 10 minutes, drain thoroughly, and set aside.
  2. In a large mixer bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, 1/2 cup shortening, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1 cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs, 2 tablespoons water, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, beating on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in 3 cups rolled oats and the prepared raisins (if using).
  7. Divide the dough in half, shape each half into a 2-inch thick roll, and wrap each roll tightly in wax paper.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm.
  9. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  10. Once chilled, slice the rolls into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  11. Place the cookie slices onto the prepared baking sheets, and gently flatten each slice to 1/4-inch thickness.
  12. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Keep a close eye on them, as baking times may vary slightly depending on your oven.
  13. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
