How to make oatmeal raisin cookies
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In the bowl of a stand mixer with paddle attachment, beat together room temperature butter and white and brown sugars on medium speed.
Add in eggs and vanilla and mix well.
Add flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to the mixing bowl. Mix well.
Next, add rolled oats and raisins to the cookie dough and mix. Use a cookie scoop to drop dough on to parchment paper lined baking sheet. If you don't have a cookie scoop, you will be using tablespoon sized drops of dough.
Bake the oatmeal cookies for 10 minutes. Cool for a few minutes and use a spatula to remove the cookies and place them on a wire rack to cool. Let the cookies cool completely and then store them in an airtight container.
Hint: Use a silpat or parchment paper on cookie sheets to make clean up a breeze!
Variations
- Chocolate chips - If raisins seem a little too healthy, or you're not a fan, feel free to add an equal amount of chocolate chips.
- Nuts - Do you think nuts make oatmeal cookies better? You can add ½ cup of chopped pecans to these cookies.

Store these brown sugar cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
I like the molasses flavor of the brown sugar, and I find using it in this recipe makes the cookies more chewy.
