Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup raisins (optional)
• 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 4

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

Step 5

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

Step 6

Stir in the rolled oats, followed by the raisins and nuts (if using).

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls 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 lightly golden brown but the centers still appear slightly underbaked.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
