How to Make Jumbo Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 1 cup granulated sugar and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until well combined.
  5. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  6. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Stir in 2 cups rolled oats, 1 cup raisins, and ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional).
  9. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 1-2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
