Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup raisins

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy—about 3 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  6. Fold in the oats and raisins until evenly distributed through the dough.
  7. Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded portions of dough about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly soft.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
