Another classic!
Oatmeal cookies offer a little bit of everything: the warm spice of cinnamon, the sweetness of raisins, the smell of toasted oats…plus they almost feel like you’re actually eating something healthy, am I right or am I right?
I love these because they’re simple to make, always good, and chances are, you probably have everything you need in your kitchen cabinets already. They also make a great base, as it’s easy to add other things to it like chocolate chips or nuts. Oatmeal cookies will always be special since they’re my husband’s favorite. I made them for him on our second date, and the rest is history, as they say.
One note about this recipe is that I don’t actually measure my raisins and add more as I mix. Raisins are a weird texture for some people, so sometimes I adjust depending on who I’m making them for as well. However you like your oatmeal cookies, I hope you enjoy!

Hello, World!
Ingredients:
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup raisins
Method:
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt, then stir in the oats.
In another bowl, (using a mixer with paddle attachment or by hand), beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until well combined. Add the egg and vanilla and mix until fully incorporated.
Add dry ingredients and continue mixing until just combined. Stir in the raisins.
Cover cookie dough and refrigerate while the oven is preheating to 350°.
Once dough is chilled, scoop cookie dough and roll into balls. Place on prepared baking sheet, and gently flatten each one slightly. Leave a little space in between, as they do spread a little bit while baking.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are slightly golden brown and tops are set. Let cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to finish cooling.
