Ingredients

• 1 cup (softened) unsalted butter
• 1 cup (packed) brown sugar (light or dark)
• 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 old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup raisins
• 0.75 cup walnuts (chopped)

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 softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).

Step 3

Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next. 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 mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined (do not overmix).

Step 6

Stir in the rolled oats, raisins, and chopped walnuts using a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or 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 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still appear slightly 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.
