Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup raisins or chocolate chips (optional)

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 butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated. Then 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 just until combined.

Step 6

Stir in the rolled oats and raisins or chocolate chips (if using). Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Drop tablespoon-sized scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers look slightly undercooked.

Step 9

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
