How to Make Classic Raisin Oatmeal Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats and 1 cup raisins.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Rotate baking sheets halfway through baking for even browning.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
