Ingredients

• 1 cup (softened) unsalted butter
• 1 cup (packed) brown sugar
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 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 (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 softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 3

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. 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 on low speed until just combined.

Step 6

Stir in the rolled oats by hand using a wooden spoon or spatula. If desired, fold in the raisins at this stage.

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or a 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 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underbaked (this ensures chewiness).

Step 9

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

Step 10

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
