Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1.75 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, or substitute with chocolate chips)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring they are fully combined, then mix in the vanilla extract.
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 incorporated.
Step 6
Stir in the old-fashioned rolled oats and raisins (or chocolate chips if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still appear soft.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the 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.
