Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add the large egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Fold in the old-fashioned rolled oats and raisins (if using) with a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed.
Using a tablespoon, scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
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 a week.
