Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the rolled oats and raisins or chocolate chips (if using), making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers still look slightly underbaked. This ensures a chewy texture.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy!
