Ingredients

• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 unit large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1.5 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 0.5 cup raisins (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy, using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed.

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and beat until fully incorporated.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.

Step 6

Fold in the rolled oats and raisins (if using) using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the dough.

Step 7

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Enjoy your homemade Carol's Oatmeal Cookies!
