Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Ingredients

• 0.75 cup butter, softened
• 0.75 cup white sugar
• 0.75 cup packed light brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.75 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2.75 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup raisins

Steps

1. Have every ingredient ready, then heat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Cover two cookie sheets with parchment paper or fit them with silicone liners.
2. In a large bowl, beat the butter and both the white and brown sugars to a smooth, creamy texture. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until the mixture is fluffy.
3. Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt, then beat this dry mixture into the butter mixture a little at a time. Mix in the oats and raisins. Place teaspoonfuls of the batter on the lined cookie sheets, leaving 2 inches between them.
4. Put the sheets in the preheated oven and bake to a golden brown color for 8 to 10 minutes, exchanging their rack positions halfway through. Take them out and leave the cookies on their sheets for 1 to 2 minutes; then move the cookies to a wire rack and allow them to cool fully.
