Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed.

Step 3

Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the bowl, and beat until well 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 ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Stir in the rolled oats using a spatula or wooden spoon. If desired, fold in the raisins and/or chopped walnuts at this stage.

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, 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 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers appear just set.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy! Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
