Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened) Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 Large eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup Raisins
- 0.5 cup Optional: Chopped nuts (e.g., 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, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Stir in the oats, raisins, and, if desired, the chopped nuts. Mix until the add-ins are evenly distributed.
Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look slightly underbaked.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your oatmeal raisin cookies with a glass of cold milk or a warm cup of tea!
