Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup raisins
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Step 2: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Step 4: Stir in the rolled oats and raisins until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Step 5: Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Step 6: Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until edges are golden brown. Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain their soft texture.
- For a warm and gooey treat, microwave a cookie for 10-15 seconds before serving.
- Enjoy these cookies with a cold glass of milk or a warm cup of coffee for a comforting snack.
- To prevent flat cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking; this helps the butter stay solid longer in the oven.
