Sam's Brown Sugar and Raisin Cookies image

This recipe came from a friend who loves to bake and does it very well. I like these cookies because they are soft and chewy, but still a little bit substantial. The combination of brown sugar, butter, and raisins is so comforting, these cookies will disappear before they cool!

Time 27m

Yield 50 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups brown sugar, firmly packed
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 cup raisins
1 cup walnuts, lightly toasted (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Line cookie sheets with parchment or grease.
  • Cream butter and add sugar, beating until fluffy.
  • Add egg and vanilla.
  • Beat until just creamy.
  • Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Mix well.
  • Stir in raisins and, if you're adding them, walnuts.
  • Drop by teaspoonfuls onto prepared sheets.
  • Bake in upper third of oven for 10 to 12 minutes until just barely golden (See Note).
  • Cool for 2 minutes on cookie sheet and move to a wire rack to finish cooling.
  • This recipe doubles quite nicely.
  • NOTE--Don't overbake these cookies or when they are cooled, they WILL (I guarantee this) be completely rock hard...they should look underbaked coming out of the oven.
