Ingredients

• 1 cup Butter, softened
• 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 pcs 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 oats
• 1.5 cups Raisins

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

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

Step 4

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

Step 5

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

Step 6

Stir in the oats and raisins until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the pan from the oven and let the bar cookies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 10

Once cooled, cut into 16 bars and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
