# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and apple pie spice.
02 -
In a separate large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar on high speed until mixture is light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
03 -
Scrape the bowl. Beat in vanilla extract and eggs until fully incorporated.
04 -
Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually add the flour mixture, mixing just until combined. Scrape the bowl to ensure all ingredients are mixed together.
05 -
With mixer on low, add old-fashioned oats and raisins to the dough until evenly distributed.
06 -
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto prepared baking sheets. Bake each batch for 12 to 14 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
# Extra Suggestions:

For chewier cookies, remove from oven as soon as the edges are set and centers appear slightly underbaked.
