  • In a stand mixer, cream butter with brown and granulated sugars for 2–3 minutes until smooth and fluffy.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla.
  • Combine the wet and dry ingredients, mixing briefly to avoid overmixing; leave a few dry streaks.
  • Fold in chocolate chips and raisins until evenly distributed.
  • Cover and refrigerate the dough for 2 hours or up to 1 day.

Baking

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Scoop 3-Tablespoon balls of dough and place them on the baking sheets, spacing them out.
  • Bake one sheet at a time for 10–12 minutes until the centers are almost set, optionally pressing extra chips/raisins on top before baking.
  • Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 2–3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container for 3-4 days. For chewier cookies, chill the dough.
