Thick, golden oatmeal cookies packed with warm cinnamon, sweet raisins, and a chewy center—just the right balance of crisp edges and soft, nostalgic comfort.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 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
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup raisins
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in eggs and vanilla until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  5. Gradually stir the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  6. Fold in oats, raisins, and walnuts if using.
  7. Scoop dough (about 2 tablespoons each) onto prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden but centers look slightly underdone.
  9. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter for easier creaming and better texture.
  • For plumper raisins, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes and drain before adding.
  • Swap raisins for chocolate chips or dried cranberries for variety.
  • Cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
