Ingredients

  • 1 cup Cold Butter cut into cubes
  • 1 cup + 2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
  • ½ cup Sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 cups Flour
  • ½ cup Cake Flour
  • 1 ½ cup Rolled Oats
  • 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
  • ¾ teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 ½ cups Raisins
  • 1 cup Walnuts chopped (OPTIONAL)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 410 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, cream together cold butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Add cake flour, all-purpose flour, oats, cornstarch, baking soda, salt and cinnamon and stir until combined. Stir in raisins and walnuts (optional).
  • Chill dough for 15 minutes.
  • Separate dough into large balls and place on lightly colored cookie sheet. Lightly press on top of dough to smooth out. If you have a scale, you can make them anywhere from 4.5 ounces - 6 ounces. You will fit 4-6 cookies on one large cookie sheet. The dough makes 8-12 extra large cookies.
  • Bake for 9-11 minutes or until golden brown on the top. Let them rest for at least 10-15 minutes to set.
