Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons 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
- 1 cup raisins
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until creamy and smooth (about 2-3 minutes).
Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized 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. Avoid overmixing.
Stir in the rolled oats, raisins, and chopped walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underdone but will set as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve your cookies fresh or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
