Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Rolled oats, plump raisins, and a blend of cinnamon and warm spices give these cookies their chewy texture and familiar flavor. The dough comes together quickly, and the cookies bake in around 10–12 minutes, making them a straightforward option for an everyday treat or a lunchbox addition.

Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
Tammy’s Tips
- For chewier cookies, let the dough rest in the fridge for 30 minutes before baking.
- Substitute dried cranberries for raisins for a tart twist.
- For a nutty flavor, consider adding 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the recipe.
