Salted Oat Cookie

Serves: 12 cookies

Prep time: 45 minutes, plus one hour to refrigerate the dough before baking. Overnight is even better.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ sticks of unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 1/4 cups flour
  • ¼ cup rice flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup quick oats
  • Sea salt for sprinkling
  • 1 cup of raisins

Directions

  1. Note: this is not the place for table salt; you need a larger grain of salt to offset the sweetness of the cookie.)
  2. Beat the butter in a mixer on medium high for 2-3 minutes until fluffy and filled with air. Add sugars. Scrape sides of bowl to make sure mixture is well-combined.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla, and combine with sugar and butter.
  4. Separately, mix flours with baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon.
  5. With mixer on low, add flour mixture until just incorporated – do not overmix.
