Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup Raisins

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, fold in the rolled oats and raisins until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Scoop out dough using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, and drop rounded balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown and just set in the center. Do not overbake.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
