This is the perfect soft and chewy oatmeal cook recipe you can make with or without raisins! This cookies are such a crowd favorite I always have people asking for the recipe!

Equipment

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 sticks salted butter (softened)
1 cup light brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp dark molasses
3 cups whole rolled oats
1/2 cup raisins (optional)

Instructions

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In another large mixing bowl, cream the butter with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until smooth. Once smooth, add the brown sugar and white sugar and beat until creamed. Once the sugar and butter mixture is creamed, add in the eggs, molasses, and vanilla and beat until thoroughly combined.
Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients and use the hand mixer on low to combine. At this point you can split the dough into batches and keep one batch plain and add raisins to the other. Cover the cookie dough and allow to refrigerate for at least 50 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350F degrees and prepare baking sheets.
Once the dough has finished chilling, scoop about 2 ½ to 3 ½ tablespoons of dough on the sheets, depending on how large a cookie you prefer. Bake the cookies between 10-15 minutes until they are only slightly browned on the sides. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool. Serve slightly warmed or at room temperature.
