Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup raisins
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. We don’t want any sticky situations down the line!
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy. You want it light and airy, like your cousin after a few too many holiday drinks!
- Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until all is combined. It should smell heavenly, so try not to eat the batter yet!
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. A little at a time is key here—no one likes a flour explosion!
- Fold in the oats and raisins until everything is evenly distributed. You should have a delightful cookie dough that’s ready to rock.
- Using a cookie scoop (or a spoon if you’re feeling rebellious), drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Give them some space as they’re going to spread out like they’ve just arrived at a family reunion!
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden. Once out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes on the pan before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
And there you have it—a batch of Soft & Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies that are so good they might just take center stage at your next gathering! Serve them up, watch the magic unfold, and wonder why on earth you didn’t whip these up sooner.
