Method

Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F) and line a baking tray with baking paper.

2. 2

   Beat the powdered sugar, butter and oil in a large bowl for about 3 min, until smooth and paste-like.

3. 3

   Beat in the egg and vanilla until fully combined.

4. 4

   Stir in the flour with a spatula until no dry streaks remain. The dough is soft and sticky.

5. 5

   Toss the raisins with the 1 tbsp of flour so they separate and stay evenly spread, then fold them into the dough.

6. 6

   Drop heaped teaspoons of dough onto the tray, 2 cm (3/4 in) apart, since they spread as they bake.

7. 7

   Bake for 10-12 min, until the edges are light golden.

8. 8

   Cool on the tray for 2 min, then move the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. They crisp up as they cool.
