Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup raisins
Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare baking sheets: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Add oats and raisins: Stir in oats and raisins until evenly distributed.
- Bake: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are golden brown but centers remain soft.
- Cool and enjoy: Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
Notes
- For extra chewiness, soak raisins in warm water for 10 minutes before adding to dough, then drain well.
- You can substitute half the raisins with chopped nuts or dried cranberries for variety.
