Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (not quick oats)
  • 1.5 cups raisins

Instructions

  1. Cream the butter and sugars in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. With the mixer on low, gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing just until combined.
  5. Use a spatula to fold in the rolled oats and raisins by hand until evenly distributed.
  6. Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  8. Scoop dough into 2-tablespoon mounds, placing them 2 inches apart on the prepared sheets.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden brown but centers look soft.
  10. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, use softened, not melted, butter and old-fashioned oats. Do not skip the 30-minute chill time to prevent excessive spreading. Cookies can be frozen as dough balls or after baking.
