Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats (old-fashioned, 135g)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (125g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (113g)
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar (150g)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50g)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup raisins (150g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. Using an electric mixer or whisk, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry oat mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or folding with a spatula until combined. The dough should be thick and sticky.
  6. Fold in the raisins evenly throughout the dough.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets using a cookie scoop or spoon.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden brown and centers remain soft.
  9. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture. Avoid overmixing once flour and oats are added. Chill dough for 30 minutes if cookies spread too thin. Let cookies cool on baking sheet before transferring to rack to maintain crisp edges. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil. For gluten-free, use a gluten-free flour blend.
