Perfectly soft, irresistibly chewy, and loaded with comforting flavors, these Heavenly Oatmeal Raisin Cookies are a delightful twist on a classic favorite. Made with wholesome old-fashioned rolled oats, plump raisins, and a warm hint of cinnamon, these cookies strike the perfect balance between sweetness and texture. Optional chopped walnuts add a satisfying crunch, while the secret to their tender bite lies in slightly underbaking them to keep the centers wonderfully moist. With just 15 minutes of prep time and a batch yielding 24 cookies, these treats are ideal for satisfying your sweet cravings or sharing with loved ones. Whether paired with a cold glass of milk or enjoyed as a mid-day snack, these oatmeal raisin cookies truly live up to their heavenly name.
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
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.
Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Stir in the rolled oats, raisins, and chopped walnuts (if using) by hand using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
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.
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.
Serve with a cold glass of milk or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
