Starbucks Outrageous Oatmeal Raisin Cookies Recipe

1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (not-quick-cooking)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup dark raisins
1/4 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 tablespoons dark raisins (topping)
4 tablespoons golden raisins (topping)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Blend together oats, flour, raisins, cranberries, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside. Beat butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add egg, cinnamon and vanilla; beat until combined. Gradually add oat mixture; beat until combined. Combine raisins for topping in a separate bowl and set aside. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls, 2" apart onto two baking sheets. Place 1 mounded teaspoon of raisins on top of dough. Bake until cookies are golden brown but still soft, 12-16 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes on sheets and then transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
