Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Light brown sugar
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1.5 cups Raisins

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Stir in the rolled oats and raisins by hand using a wooden spoon or spatula until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Scoop out 1/4 cup portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 3 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.

Step 8

Gently press each ball down slightly to flatten the tops.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges but still soft in the middle.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Serve and enjoy soft, chewy, oatmeal raisin cookies that taste like Grandma's!
