Ingredients
 
 

  • 140 g unsalted butter
  • 7 g milk powder optional
  • 100 g soft brown sugar
  • 50 g granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla paste or vanilla extract
  • 125 g all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 120 g rolled oats
  • 120 g raisins

Instructions
 

  • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Avoid using a dark pan, as you will struggle to see the caramelization of the butter and run the risk of burning it.
  • Once the butter melts, let it cook for around 3-4 minutes, regularly whisking.
  • Once it starts to foam, add in milk powder and whisk until it browns into a deep amber color and smells nutty and caramel-like.
  • Pour the melted butter, including all the caramelized brown bits at the bottom of the pan, into a large heat-proof bowl and allow it to cool for 10 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C and line large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Once the butter has cooled, whisk in the brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla.
  • In a small separate bowl, whisk the flour, rolled oats, salt, and baking soda. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, followed by the raisins.
  • Let the dough sit for 10 minutes at room temperature.
  • Roll a tablespoon and a half of dough per cookie into a ball. Place the cookie dough balls around 2 inches/ 5 cm apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until the cookies are golden brown around the edges but still a little soft. Use a large round cookie cutter to scoot around the baked cookies to push them into even circles.
  • Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before placing them on a wire rack to cool further.
  • These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or the baked cookies can be frozen for up to three months.
