Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), ensuring the oven is at the right temperature for perfectly baked cookies.
2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and packed brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
3
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated.
4
In a separate bowl, combine the sifted flour, baking soda, and instant vanilla pudding mix, then gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until well blended.
5
Fold in the quick-cooking oats and plump raisins, mixing gently to ensure an even distribution throughout the dough.
6
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving enough space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
7
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the centers look slightly underbaked. They will continue to cook on the baking sheet after removal.
