Preheat oven to 400
In a large bowl, mix together the melted butter, vanilla, sugar and eggs.
Stir in the rasins and rasin water.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon.
Gradually work into the butter/egg mix, when just together mix in the oats. If for some reason the dough seems to wet, let sit for a few minutes.
Drop by spoonfuls on to cookie sheet. ( I use a mendium size ice cream scoop for these)
Bake for 8 minutes or until set.

Enjoy, I hope This is what your looking for.

Answer 3

I sorta had the same problem. They would fall apart when I'd remove them from the cookie sheet. Then I learned to leave them on the cookie sheet for a minute or two then I move them to the counter to cool. I don't put them on a cooling rack. I also make sure that when I put the dough on the cookie sheet it's already cooled off so the dough doesn't melt and spread.

Oatmeal raisin cookies with icing are the best ever!!!

Answer 4

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Makes about 3 dozen

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1`tablespoon pure vanilla extract
3 tablespoons milk
2 large eggs
3 cups old-fashioned oats
1 cup raisins

1.In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine butter with both sugars, and beat until light and fluffy. Add vanilla, milk, and eggs, and mix well. Add flour mixture, and beat until just combined. Remove bowl from the electric mixer, and stir in oats and raisins. Place dough in the refrigerator until firm, about 2 hours or overnight.

2.Heat oven to 350º. Line several baking sheets with parchment paper, and set aside. Scoop out 2 tablespoons of dough, and shape into a ball; place on one of the prepared sheets. Repeat with remaining dough, spacing balls 3 inches apart. Press down to flatten into 2-inch diameters.

3.Transfer to the oven, and bake until golden but still soft in center, 16 to 18 minutes, rotating the pans between oven shelves halfway through baking. Remove from oven, and place on a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.
