Ingredients

• 113 grams unsalted butter
• 150 grams light brown sugar
• 50 grams granulated sugar
• 1 piece large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 120 grams all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 150 grams old-fashioned rolled oats
• 100 grams raisins
• 50 grams optional: chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate 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 until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the rolled oats, raisins, and optional chopped nuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Lightly flatten each cookie with the back of the spoon or your fingers to help them bake evenly.

Step 9

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

Step 10

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

Step 11

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy!
