Bake the best homemade oatmeal raisin cookies that are perfectly soft and chewy every time. This classic recipe is loaded with warm cinnamon spice and plump raisins for a truly comforting treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 cups raisins

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the rolled oats and raisins by hand until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. For thicker cookies, slightly press down the tops of the dough balls.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown but the centers still look slightly soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra soft cookies, slightly underbake them; they will firm up as they cool.
  • If your raisins seem dry, soak them in hot water for 10 minutes, then drain and pat them dry before adding them to the dough.
  • This recipe makes the best chewy cookies and is a fantastic addition to your holiday cookie favorites collection.
