Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon 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
• 0.75 cup raisins
• 0.75 cup chopped walnuts (or pecans)

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, beat the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

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

Step 4

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

Step 5

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

Step 6

Using a spatula or wooden spoon, fold in the rolled oats, raisins, and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 tablespoons per cookie, spacing them 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers remain soft. Avoid overbaking.

Step 9

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

Step 10

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