Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.25 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 0.75 cup raisins
- 0.75 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed for about 2 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 flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined.
Step 6
Fold in the rolled oats, raisins, chocolate chips, and walnuts (if using). Ensure the mix-ins are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look just set.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve the cookies warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
