Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

I hardly bake and when I do give it a try, I stick to those hard to get it wrong recipes. Chewy Oatmeal Raisin cookies are one of my favorites and and it turns out I can bake a decent batch without breaking a sweat. Here is how


Ingredients
Rolled oats - 2 cups
All purpose flour  - 1 Cup
Eggs  - 2
UnSalted Butter  - 1/2 cup
Brown sugar  - 1 cup
Granulated sugar - 1/2 cup
Raisins  - 1 cup
Walnuts  - 1/2 cup chopped
Baking Powder - 1 teaspoon
Cinnamon  - 1/2 teaspoon
Vanilla  - 1 tablespoon
Pinch of Salt
White chocolate - 1/2 cup (optional)

Method
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Melt butter and bring it to room temperature. In the meantime whisk eggs in a bowl and add the butter and whisk until smooth. Now mix in the sugars and vanilla and beat well until creamy.
In a separate bowl mix all the dry ingredients together (oats, all purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt).
Add the dry ingredients and to the wet ingredients and give it a good mix with a spatula. Finally stir in the nuts and raisins. For those with an extra sweet tooth mix in the white chocolates.
Line couple of baking sheets with parchment paper. Place large tablespoon full of cookie mix on to the sheet leaving enough space between each. Bake the cookies for around 10-12 minutes (may differ due to oven heat and altitude) until golden brown.
Transfer the cookies on a cooling rack or on a plate for few minutes.  Store in an airtight container or cookie jar.
