For a richer flavor, toast the walnuts before adding them to the dough. Spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant. Feel free to substitute other dried fruits for the raisins, such as dried cranberries or chopped dates. Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
45 mins
Plump the raisins: Soak raisins in a bowl of warm water for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour. This ensures they remain soft and juicy during baking. Drain thoroughly and pat dry. (30-60 minutes)
02
Step
5 mins
Prepare for baking: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy release and cleanup.
03
Step
4 mins
Cream the base: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and dark brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. This step is crucial for creating a tender cookie. (3-5 minutes)
04
Step
2 mins
Incorporate wet ingredients: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, until well combined. Ensure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. (1-2 minutes)
05
Step
2 mins
Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the quick-cooking oats, all-purpose flour, toasted walnuts, flaked coconut, Chinese five-spice powder, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. (1-2 minutes)
06
Step
3 mins
Combine wet and dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough cookies. (2-3 minutes)
07
Step
2 mins
Fold in raisins: Gently fold in the plumped raisins until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough. (1-2 minutes)
08
Step
6 mins
Shape and bake: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. (5-7 minutes)
09
Step
14 mins
Bake to perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. (12-15 minutes)
10
Step
7 mins
Cool and enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (5-10 minutes)
