How to Make Grandma Lu's Oatmeal Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the oats, raisins, and chocolate chips.
  7. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached. Do not overbake!
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
