Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup raisins
- 1 cup walnuts, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, use a handheld or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Using a spatula, fold in the rolled oats, raisins, and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop the dough in rounded tablespoons or using a cookie scoop, and place each portion onto the prepared baking sheets. Space the cookies about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look just set. Do not overbake to keep the cookies chewy.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve fresh or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
