Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened) Unsalted butter
- 1 cup (packed) 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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the rolled oats and raisins using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underbaked.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Classic Raisin Oatmeal Cookies with a glass of cold milk or a warm cup of tea!
