AmTestKitchen Classic Chewy Oatmeal Cookies

1 cup flour
3/4 t. salt
1/2 t. baking soda
4 T unsalted butter
1/4 t. cinnamon
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 t. vanilla
3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats, not quick
1/2 cup raisins, optional...can use chocolate chips

1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 375 degree.  Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper Whisk flour, salt and baking soda together in a medium bowl:  set aside.

2.  Melt butter in 8" skillet over med high heat, swirling pan occasionally until foaming subsides. Continue to cook, stirring and scraping bottom of pan with heatproof spatula, until milk solids are dark golden brown and butter has nutty aroma, 1-2 minutes. Immediately transfer browned butter to large heatproof bowl, scraping skillet with spatula. Stir in cinnamon.

3.  Add brown sugar, granulated sugar, and oil to bowl with butter and whisk until combined. Add egg and egg yolk and vanilla and whisk until mixture is smooth.  Using wooden spoon, stir in flour mixture until fully combined, about 1 minutes. Add oats and raisin, if using, and stir until evenly distributed (mixture will be stiff).  DO NOT USE A MIXER  THIS RECPE WORKS BEST IF ALL THE STIRRING IS DONE BY HAND.

4. Divide dough into 20 portions, each about 3 T or use #24 cookie scoop.  Arrange dough balls 2" apart on prepared sheets, 10 dough balls per sheet. Using your damp hand, press each ball int 2-1/2" disk.

5.  Bake 1 sheet at a time until cookie edges are set and lightly browned and centers are still soft but not wet, 8-10 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through baking  Let cookies cool on sheet on wire rack for 5 minutes; using wide metal spatula, transfer cookies to wire rack and let cool completely.

I made them exactly like this and they make HUGE cookies.  I have also made them a bit smaller.
