Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
⏱ 2 min - 2
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer.
⏱ 3 min - 3
Beat in the large egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
⏱ 1 min - 4
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
⏱ 1 min - 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
⏱ 2 min - 6
Stir in the old-fashioned rolled oats and raisins until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
⏱ 2 min - 7
Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
⏱ 2 min - 8
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. They will firm up as they cool.
⏱ 12 min - 9
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
