Soft oatmeal treats with plump raisins and warm cinnamon notes, baked fresh at home.

# The Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Dairy & Sugars

01 - 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
02 - 1 cup packed brown sugar
03 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar

→ Wet Ingredients

04 - 2 large eggs
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Dry Ingredients

06 - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
07 - 1 teaspoon baking soda
08 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
09 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

→ Add-ins

10 - 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
11 - 1 1/2 cups raisins

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Set the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or grease lightly.
02 - In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
03 - Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
04 - Whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a separate bowl, then gradually add to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
05 - Fold in rolled oats and raisins evenly into the dough.
06 - Drop spoonfuls of dough onto prepared sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart; gently flatten each cookie with the back of the spoon.
07 - Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges turn golden; centers may appear soft but will firm up upon cooling.
08 - Let cookies cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Ensure butter is softened for best creaming results to achieve tender cookie texture.
