Thin Crispy-Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
- 2/3 cups All-purpose Flour
- 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
- 1-1/2 stick Unsalted Butter, Softened
- 1 cup Light Brown Sugar
- 1 whole Large Egg
- 1-1/4 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 teaspoons Almond Extract
- 2 cups Quick Cooking Oats
- 1 cup Golden Raisins (these Would Be Fantastic With Dried Cranberries Too!)
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Spread parchment paper on 2 baking sheets (if you don't have parchment paper, just use a little of the butter to grease the cookie sheets).
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda. In a separate bowl, cream the butter and gradually beat in the brown sugar. Beat in the egg until the batter is smooth. Beat in the vanilla and almond extracts and 2 tablespoons water. Fold in the flour mixture, then the oats and raisins. Drop slightly-smaller-than-tablespoons of the batter onto the baking sheets, placing them about an inch and a half apart. These cookies spread a lot as they bake, so make sure to give them plenty of room.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until slightly browned. If you like your cookies crisper bake a bit longer, but check on them often so they don't burn.
- Remove from the oven and cool the cookies on the baking sheets for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to finish cooling.
- Since the cookies are so thin, they are quite fragile. I put some of mine in a plastic bag and after being moved around a bit I now have a bag of (delicious) oatmeal cookie crumbs. It's better to keep them flat, either in a tin or on a plate.
