Ingredients
- ¾ cup Butter (softened)
- ¾ cup White Sugar
- ¾ cup Light Brown Sugar (packed)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 ¼ cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- ¾ tsp Ground Cinnamon
- ½ tsp Salt
- 2 ¾ cups Rolled Oats
- 1 cup Raisins
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large bowl, beat together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract and beat until light and fluffy.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Stir in the rolled oats and raisins.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough (about 1 tablespoon each) onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between cookies. Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 1–2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
