Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1.75 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 (or chocolate chips, optional)

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, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar 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. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

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

Step 5

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

Step 6

Gently fold in the rolled oats and raisins (or optional chocolate chips) until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or a rounded tablespoon, drop cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underdone. The cookies will continue to set as they cool.

Step 9

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Enjoy your Old Fashioned Oatmeal Cookies with a glass of cold milk or a cup of hot tea!
