Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons 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

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 4

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

Step 5

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

Step 6

Stir in the rolled oats and raisins using a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.

Step 8

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly underbaked. The cookies will continue to set 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 the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
