1. Turn on the oven and preheat to 191 degrees celsius. [2 min]

3. Measure out the ingredients. [10 min]
4. Sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. [5 min]
5. Cream butter and sugar on medium speed then scrape down. The mixture must be light and smooth. [10 min]
6. In a separate bowl blend the eggs and vanilla. Once done, add it to the butter-sugar mixture in 3 additions until fully incorporated. [10 min]
7. On low speed, add the flour mix plus the oats and raisins, and mix until just incorporated. [5 min]
8. Divide this dough into x6 60g pieces. You can do it straight out of the mixing bowl. [5 min]
9. Roll each into a ball, place onto the baking sheet and then flatten into thick discs. [5 min]
10. Place into the oven and bake until light golden brown, about 12 minutes. [13 min]
11. Once done, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. [5 min]

Chef's Notes:

• The cookies will be soft in the middle and the sides firm to the touch.
• Store in an airtight container lined with parchment paper.
• You can also roll the entire dough into a log, wrap snugly in parchment or cling film and chill in the fridge until it's firm enough to slice into discs.
