Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup raisins
• 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ cup white sugar
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup chopped toasted pecans
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature

• 2 ¾ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 tablespoon apple juice, or more to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Position racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven, and preheat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 cookie sheets with silicone liners (such as Silpat®).

Step 2

Whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together in a medium bowl.

Step 3

Combine butter, brown sugar, and white sugar in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl, until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla and beat until blended, about 1 minutes, scraping the sides as needed. Add dry ingredients and mix on low speed just until blended. Mix in oats, raisins, and pecans on low speed just to blend.

Step 4

With a 2-inch cookie scoop, scoop dough onto the prepared cookie sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven, rotating sheets halfway through, until cookies are light golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.

Step 6

While the cookies are cooking, whisk powdered sugar, butter, and 1 tablespoon apple juice together in a bowl until smooth. Add more juice if needed for a good drizzling consistency.

Step 7

Drizzle icing over cooled cookies. Let icing set before serving, about 30 minutes.
