Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter softened
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup raisins optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, or in a large bowl with an hand mixer, beat the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until fully incorporated and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Beat in the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat just until mostly combined.
Add the oats and the raisins and stir until combined.
Scoop out the dough, I like to use a cookie scoop, but you could use a spoon as well, and place the balls on parchment or silpat lined baking sheets, at least 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies until the edges are just brown, 8-10 minutes. If baking more than one cookie sheet at a time, rotate them halfway through the baking time.
Leave the cookies on the baking sheet for 3-5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
