Ingredients
- Unsalted butter
- 1 cup, softened
- Granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup
- Brown sugar
- 3/4 cup, packed
- Egg
- 1 large
- Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon
- All-purpose flour
- 1 cup
- Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon
- Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 cups
- Raisins
- 1 cup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until evenly mixed.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the rolled oats and raisins until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers remain soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips
- For a nuttier flavor, consider adding 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the dough.
- If you prefer a chewier cookie, slightly underbake them and allow them to cool on the baking sheet.
- For a twist, substitute half of the raisins with chocolate chips for a decadent variation.
