Oatmeal cookies with white chocolate and golden raisins
Cookies
One Friday night, after closing down the Blue Heron, I stayed after hours to make twelve dozen oatmeal cookies that needed to be picked up the next morning at 7:00. Our oven space was limited, and we could bake only one tray at a time, so I worked in the kitchen until 2:00 A.M.: mixing dough, shaping circles, filling sheet pans, and then waiting for cookies to cool so I could package them all up. I fell in love with oatmeal raisin cookies that night after nibbling on too much dough and the random wonky-shaped cookie, I grew to appreciate their chewy, raisin-filled texture by the light of the moon. Chocolate chip cookies may always be at the top of my list, but these round raisin treats run a very close second, This version includes white chocolate, a dash of nutmeg, and the fancier golden raisin for an upscale cookie that is nothing short of delicious. <br /> <br />From <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Vanilla-Bean-Baking-Book-Irresistible/dp/1583335846">The Vanilla Bean Baking Book</a href>.
