Ingredients

• 1 cup (softened) unsalted butter
• 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 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 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, using a handheld or stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 3

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

Step 4

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

Step 5

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

Step 6

Gently fold in the rolled oats, raisins, and nuts (if using) using a wooden spoon or spatula.

Step 7

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and drop them 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 are still soft.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
