Step-by-Step Instructions for Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes).
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until smooth.
  5. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the raisins, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  7. Scoop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and centers are soft but set.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
