These cookies combine the classic flavors of oatmeal, raisins, and chocolate chips into a chewy and delightful treat.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and beat until well combined.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Whisking helps to evenly distribute the leavening agents and spices.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
Stir in the oats, raisins, and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Fold gently to avoid crushing the mix-ins.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Use a cookie scoop for uniform sizes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even baking.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling on a rack prevents the bottoms from becoming soggy.
Serve the cookies with your favorite beverage and enjoy!
Pair with a glass of milk or a cup of tea for a delightful treat.
