Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1.5 cups Raisins
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir 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 until just combined.
Stir in the oats, raisins, and walnuts (if using) until evenly incorporated.
Drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look just set.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your soft and chewy oatmeal raisin cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of tea!
