Scale
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup raisins
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream butter and sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add wet ingredients: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- Mix the dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Fold in the oats and raisins.
- Bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges are golden brown and centers are still soft.
- Cool and enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- For extra chewiness, soak the raisins in warm water for 10 minutes and pat dry before adding.
- You can also mix in chopped walnuts or substitute dried cranberries.
