1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup dark brown sugar, firmly packed
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups oats (non instant)
1 1/2 cups raisins (soaked for 10 min& drained. you can add rum for that extra flavor)
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 325⁰F.
2. Whisk dry ingredients and set aside.
3. Combine wet ingredients with a hand mixer on low.
4. To cream, increase speed to high and beat until fluffy and the color lightens (10 min).
5. Stir the flour mixture into the creamed mixture until no flour is visible.
