Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the butter with the brown and granulated sugar.
Add in eggs and vanilla, and mix on low speed to combine.
In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Then, add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix. Stir in raisins until combined.
Cover and chill dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before baking. This helps keep the cookies from spreading too thin. Read: chewy cookies!
Divide the dough into 24 equal-sized balls. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet with 1-2 inches between balls of dough. Press balls down with the bottom of a glass or the heel of your hand.
Place in the pre-heated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
