Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s nice and hot for baking the cookies. -
Mix Wet Ingredients
In a medium bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. -
Add Dry Ingredients
Stir in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix until the ingredients are evenly incorporated. -
Add Oats and Mix-ins
Once the dry ingredients are fully combined, stir in the rolled oats, chocolate chips, and raisins. The dough will be thick and sticky, but that’s perfectly fine. -
Form the Cookies
Using a tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto lightly greased baking sheets, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart. Use the back of a fork to gently flatten each cookie to about 1/2-inch thickness. -
Bake the Cookies
Place the cookie sheets in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. The cookies should be golden around the edges but still moist in the center. -
Cool and Serve
Once the cookies are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool on the cookie sheets for about 1 minute. After that, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips for Success
- Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to a week. These cookies can also be frozen for longer storage.
- Variations: You can easily substitute raisins with other dried fruits like cranberries or add a mix of nuts for extra crunch.
- Texture: For chewier cookies, be careful not to overbake them. Slightly underbaking them ensures they remain soft and chewy.
- Doubled Recipe: This recipe doubles beautifully, so you can easily make a larger batch if you’re expecting a crowd.
