Ingredients

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the bowl and beat until fully incorporated.

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 just until combined to avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Stir in the old-fashioned rolled oats and, if using, the raisins or chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Using a rounded tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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

Step 10

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