Bursting with rustic charm and hearty flavor, Farmer Cookies are the ultimate treat for cookie lovers who crave a wholesome twist. These buttery, chewy delights combine the comforting sweetness of brown sugar and vanilla with the crunchy nuttiness of chopped walnuts and the tangy pop of raisins or dried cranberries. Rolled oats bring a hearty texture, while a hint of ground cinnamon adds warm, cozy notes to every bite. Perfectly golden around the edges and irresistibly soft in the center, these cookies come together in just minutes using simple pantry staples. Whether enjoyed fresh out of the oven or stored for later, Farmer Cookies make for a satisfying snack with a homemade, country-inspired touch. They're perfect for everything from a lunchbox treat to a quick dessert, and you can even toss in some chocolate chips for extra indulgence!
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the rolled oats, walnuts, raisins (or dried cranberries), and chocolate chips, if using.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly undercooked. The cookies will firm up as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
