    | Classic Oatmeal-Raisin cookies made yummier with extra raisins than most recipes call for. Soaking the raisins first provides better texture in the finished product. High altitude instruction: Add 1/4 cup all-purpose flour. |

        | 1  | 	Cover raisins with hot water and let soak for 10 minutes. Drain and set aside. |  
  |  | 2   | 	Heat oven to 350°F. Line two large cookie sheets with parchment paper or reusable silicone liners. |  
  |  | 3   | 	Using an electric mixer, beat butter in a large bowl until creamy. Add brown and granulated sugars, then beat until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Then, beat in vanilla extract. |  
  |  | 4   | 	In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon. Set the mixer on low speed, and beat flour mixture into the butter mixture. Stir in oats and raisins. |  
  |  | 5   | 	Spoon dough in large tablespoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheets, leaving at least 2 inches between each cookie. |  
  |  | 6   | 	Bake until cookie edges turn golden brown, about 9 to 13 minutes. Centers will still be quite soft but firm up as the cookies cool. Cool completely on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container at room temperature. |
