Scale
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.
