Preheat your oven to 175Β°C (350Β°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand or stand mixer.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
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 until just combined.
Fold in the rolled oats and raisins using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough per cookie and place onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cookies once cooled and store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
