Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams brown sugar, packed
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 180 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda

- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 240 grams old-fashioned rolled oats
- 120 grams raisins or chocolate chips (optional)

Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix 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
Stir in the oats, and if using, fold in raisins, chocolate chips, or nuts.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look just set.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve and enjoy, or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
