Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

My aunt came to visit today, and she (unfortunately) doesn't have a very sweet tooth. I decided to whip up a batch of oatmeal raisin cookies for her, since they're delicious without being too sweet. This is a recipe that I found on recipezaar, but I've modified it a little bit by adding a hint of cinnamon to the dough. The cookies are moist and chewy. I sometimes will add a few chocolate chips as well to jazz it up a bit.

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
(makes about 4 dozen cookies, depending on size)

1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsps pure vanilla extract
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
3 cups oats (not instant)
1 1/2 cups raisins

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs and the vanilla extract, and beat until combined.

Stir in the oats and raisins into the cookie dough.

Use a cookie scoop to drop the dough onto a cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart.

Bake the cookies for 11-13 minutes until golden, but still moist.

Remove the cookies from the sheet and cool on a wire rack.
