Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat the unsalted butter and brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until well combined.
Stir in the gluten-free rolled oats, and if using, add the raisins and chopped nuts. Mix until evenly distributed.
Using a tablespoon, drop rounded mounds of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets 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.
