Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 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 butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Stir in the oats and raisins by hand using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until evenly distributed.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look slightly underbaked.
Allow the cookies to 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 one week. Enjoy!
