  • 1 cup 230g unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup 200g brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup 100g granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups 190g all-purpose flour

  • ½ tsp salt
  • 3 cups 270g old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup 150g raisins
  • Optional: chopped walnuts or chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients until combined.
  6. Fold in oats and raisins (and optional add-ins).
  7. Scoop rounded tablespoons onto baking sheet, leaving space between cookies.
  8. Bake 10–12 minutes until golden but soft in the middle.
  9. Cool on the pan for 2–3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Use old-fashioned oats for the best texture.
  • Do not overmix the dough to keep cookies chewy.
  • Soak raisins in warm water for 10 minutes for plumper bites.
  • Optional: sprinkle sea salt on top for a flavor boost.
