Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
If using raisins or chocolate chips, gently fold them into the cookie dough using a spatula.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded dough balls 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. The centers should still look slightly underbaked.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet 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 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.
