Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup raisins
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) 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 light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Stir in the rolled oats and raisins until evenly distributed.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden, but the centers are still soft.
Remove from the oven and 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 one week.
