Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup Raisins
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, fold in the rolled oats and raisins until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop out dough using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, and drop rounded balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown and just set in the center. Do not overbake.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
