  • 1 egg
  • 2 cups (500 mL) large flake oats

  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) California Raisins (Thompson or Sultana)

Procedure

  2. Arrange oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Drop heaping spoonfuls of the dough onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake batches, rotating pans once, for 20 to 22 minutes or until lightly browned all over. Transfer cookies directly to a rack to cool completely.
  3. Tip: Cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to two days or in the freezer for up to one month.
