   Beat butter and both sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla.

3. 3

   Add dry ingredients

   Mix in flour, bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon, and salt. Fold in oats and drained raisins.

   Bake

   Preheat oven to 180°C. Scoop dough onto lined trays. Bake for 11–13 minutes until golden. Cool on the tray.
