Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the pure vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the rolled oats and, if desired, the raisins or chocolate chips, until evenly distributed.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look slightly underbaked. Do not overbake, as the cookies will continue to set as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
