Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups rolled oats
• 0.75 cups chopped walnuts
• 1 cup raisins or dried cranberries
• 0.5 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Step 6

Fold in the rolled oats, walnuts, raisins (or dried cranberries), and chocolate chips, if using.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough 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 edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly undercooked. The cookies will firm up as they cool.

Step 9

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
