Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and apple pie spice. Whisk until evenly mixed.
  3. Cream together softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed for 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add the large eggs one at a time and vanilla extract, beating until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low until just combined.
  6. Fold in the old-fashioned oats and raisins until evenly distributed.
  7. Scoop the dough into round balls, about 1.5 tablespoons each, and place them on prepared baking sheets with 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 12-14 minutes until lightly golden around the edges but soft in the center.
  9. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
