Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup raisins (optional)
• 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Then add the vanilla extract and mix until 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 mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the rolled oats, and if desired, stir in the raisins and chopped walnuts for extra texture and flavor.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve and enjoy with a glass of milk or your favorite warm beverage. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
