Ingredients

• 226 grams unsalted butter
• 200 grams light brown sugar
• 100 grams granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 190 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 240 grams old-fashioned rolled oats
• 150 grams raisins
• 100 grams optional chopped walnuts (for added crunch)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until creamy and smooth using a hand mixer or stand mixer.

Step 3

Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

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

Step 5

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

Step 6

Stir in the rolled oats, raisins, and chopped walnuts (if using) by hand using a spatula or wooden spoon.

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look slightly underbaked. This ensures soft, chewy cookies.

Step 9

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve with a cold glass of milk or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
