Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups (135 g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup (170 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150 g) raisins
  • Optional: 1/2 cup (60 g) chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently just until combined.
  6. Fold in the raisins and optional nuts if using.
  7. Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to drop mounds of dough about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers are still soft.
  9. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use softened butter, not melted, for best texture. Soak raisins in warm water or juice before adding for juiciness. Chill dough if cookies spread too much. Do not overmix dough to keep cookies tender. Store cookies in an airtight container with a slice of bread to keep soft.
