Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure 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
- 0.75 cup raisins
- 0.75 cup chopped walnuts (or pecans)
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, beat the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Using a spatula or wooden spoon, fold in the rolled oats, raisins, and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.
Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 tablespoons per cookie, spacing them 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers remain soft. Avoid overbaking.
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.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
