Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups rolled oats
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups raisins
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
-
Fold in the rolled oats and raisins until evenly distributed.
-
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
-
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still soft.
-
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
