Here’s a classic recipe for Oatmeal Raisin Cookies—soft, chewy, and full of warm cinnamon flavor 🍪
🥣 Ingredients (makes ~24 cookies)
- 1 cup (230g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp salt
- 3 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup raisins
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Preheat Oven
- Preheat to 350°F (175°C)
- Line baking sheets with parchment paper
2. Cream Butter and Sugar
- Beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy
- Add eggs and vanilla, mixing well
3. Combine Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture
4. Add Oats and Raisins
- Stir in oats and raisins until evenly distributed
5. Scoop and Bake
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto baking sheet (about 2 inches apart)
- Bake 10–12 minutes until edges are golden but centers still soft
6. Cool

💡 Tips for Perfect Cookies
- Chewy: Slightly underbake and let cookies set on the tray
- Extra flavor: Add a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of orange zest
- Soft: Use old-fashioned oats, not instant oats
If you want, I can also give a 10-minute “no-chill” version that’s soft, chewy, and ready to eat fast 😄
