Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1.75 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
• 1 cup walnuts (chopped)

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, beat the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

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, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Stir in the rolled oats, raisins, and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop 2-tablespoon-sized portions 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 lightly golden and the centers look set but still soft.

Step 9

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days (if they last that long!).
