Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 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
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until creamy and smooth (about 2-3 minutes).
Step 3
Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
Step 4
In a separate medium-sized 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 until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Step 6
Stir in the rolled oats, raisins, and chopped walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underdone but will set as they cool.
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
Serve your cookies fresh or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
