Ingredients
  

Main
  • 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 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup raisins

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Electric mixer or whisk
  • Baking sheets
  • Parchment paper
  • Cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  6. Fold in the oats and raisins until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra chewy cookies, slightly underbake them and let them finish cooking on the cooling rack.
