Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Prepare a cookie sheet by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, cream the mixture until it becomes light and fluffy.
3
Lower the mixer speed and add in the large egg and almond extract, beating until the ingredients are well incorporated.
4
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the butter mixture and mix until just combined.
5
Fold in the oats and raisins, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough without overmixing.
6
Using a 2-tablespoon measure, scoop the dough onto the prepared cookie sheet, spacing them about 3 inches apart. Gently flatten each dollop into a 2-inch circle using the back of a spoon.
7
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown around the edges. Allow them to cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
