Chunky Raisin Cookies

I bought this fabulously-titled book Bite Me and ever since I have been obsessing over the beautiful pictures and immense recipes, which produce amazing results. These cookies are soft and chewy on the inside with just a hint of crunch on the outside, and are super easy to make. So go make them!

Ingredients:
115g butter, softened
100g granulated sugar
100g soft light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
210g plain flour
Here's a close-up for you-everybody say "tasty"
0.25tsp bicarb
0.25tsp sea salt
100g raisins

Optional extra of your choice-e.g. choc chips, nuts, peanut butter. I sued PB2, a fat-free peanut butter replacement, it tastes amazing in these!

Method:
  1. Preheat the oven to 180C.
  2. Beat the sugars and butter together in an electric mixer on a medium speed until combined.
  3. Add the vanilla extract and egg and beat until fluffy.
  4. Add the flour and mix on a low speed along with the bicarb and salt.
  5. Add in the raisins and anything else you fancy and mix together on a slow speed.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a baking tray so they are evenly spaced apart.
  7. Bake for 10 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
  8. Leave to cool on a wire rack.
