Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened 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. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Step 6
Fold in the rolled oats and raisins (if using) with a spatula until evenly distributed.
Step 7
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out dough balls 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 lightly golden while the centers remain 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
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
