Ingredients
butter or margarine
1 cup (softened)
brown sugar
3/4 cup (packed)
granulated sugar
1/4 cup (fine)
vanilla extract
1 tablespoon (pure)
all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups (sifted)

1/2 teaspoon (fine)

boiling water
1/4 cup (used to dissolve baking soda)
quick oats
2 cups (uncooked)

1 cup (semi-sweet or dark)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine your softened butter or margarine with the brown sugar and granulated sugar. Beat the mixture on medium speed until it's light and fluffy, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
3
Stir in the vanilla extract to incorporate.
4
In another bowl, whisk together the flour and salt until well blended, then gradually add this dry mixture to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing until just combined.
5
In a small bowl, dissolve the baking soda in the boiling water. Carefully add this mixture to the cookie batter, stirring well to ensure even distribution.
6
Fold in the quick oats and chocolate chips (and raisins, if desired) until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7
Using a teaspoon, drop dollops of cookie dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet, leaving some space between each for spreading.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Take care not to overbake; the cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
9
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
