Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp salt.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, beat 1/2 cup softened butter, 1/3 cup maple syrup, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Step 3: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in 1/2 cup chopped pecans and 1/4 cup raisins until evenly distributed.
- Step 4: Scoop 1.5 tbsp portions of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with a fork to create a crisscross pattern.
- Step 5: Bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
