How to Make Buttery Oatmeal Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter (or 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup oil), 3/4 cup packed brown sugar, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 1 large egg, 1/4 cup molasses, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 3 cups rolled oats, 1 cup raisins, and 1 cup chopped pecans.
  7. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
