Why this recipe works
Keep raisins within the dough
Twelve small cookies make six snack servings. Preparation includes 10 minutes resting dough and 10 minutes cooling. Oats and raisins remain visible; these are soft oat cookies, not wafer-thin crisp chips.

Method

1
Prepare
Cream butter with sugar and briefly beat in egg. Stir in flour and oats. Roughly chop very large raisins and fold in.

2
Mix and shape
Rest about 10 minutes. Shape twelve equal mounds and flatten to about 1 cm on a suitable closed baking insert. Press protruding raisins into dough and leave gaps. Use a heatproof dish suitable for the appliance, leaving space around it for airflow. Do not preheat with loose paper.

Bake and check doneness
If required by the manufacturer, preheat for 3 minutes at 160 °C. Bake two batches of six about 12 minutes each at 160 °C. Watch the second batch, which may colour sooner. Centres must cook even though warm cookies remain soft. Check that the thickest part reaches at least 70 °C for 2 minutes; continue cooking if needed.

Cool and portion
Let firm briefly on insert, then move carefully to a rack. Cool about 10 minutes in total. Count two cookies per serving.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ about Air fryer oatmeal raisin cookies
Better press them into dough. Exposed small fruit dries especially quickly in hot airflow.
Butter and oat dough firm during cooling. Raw sticky dough must still not remain in centres.
No, sugar is part of the recipe and raisins also contain natural sugar.
Fine rolled oats are intended. Very coarse oats hydrate differently and make a rougher cookie.
