Pro tips
- Do not overbake these cookies; they should be slightly soft in the middle for that perfect chewy texture.
- For extra spice, add a pinch of nutmeg or ground cloves to the dry ingredients.
- If your butter isn't soft, microwave it for 10-15 seconds, being careful not to melt it completely.
Method
- 1Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- 2In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- 3Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- 4In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- 5Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- 6Stir in the old-fashioned oats and raisins until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- 7Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- 8Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still soft. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
