Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, using a hand or stand mixer.
Step 3
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and beat until fully incorporated.

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 until just combined.
Step 6
Fold in the rolled oats and optional raisins or chocolate chips with a spatula.

Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers will still look slightly soft.
