Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 1/2 cups raisins
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light, fluffy, and smooth.
Mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to your wet ingredients using a spatula.
Gently fold in the rolled oats and raisins until just combined.
Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
Let the cookies sit on the pan for 5 minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Keep your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain that soft, chewy texture. Do not over-mix once the dry ingredients are added to keep the cookies tender.
