Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (226g) Unsalted Butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150g) Granulated Sugar
  • ¾ cup (165g) Packed Brown Sugar
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) Vanilla Extract
  • 1 ½ cups (192g) All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) Ground Cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5ml) Salt
  • 3 cups (240g) Rolled Oats (not instant)
  • 1 cup (170g) Raisins

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Don't overmix!
  5. Stir in the rolled oats and raisins until evenly distributed.
  6. Drop by rounded tablespoons (or use a cookie scoop) onto ungreased or parchment-lined baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  7. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
