  1. Cream 1 cup of softened salted butter until creamy. Gradually add 1 cup of light brown sugar and 1/2 cup of granulated white sugar until fluffy.
  2. Incorporate 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract and blend until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk 2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1.5 teaspoons of cinnamon.
  4. Slowly add dry ingredients to wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in 3 cups of oats and 1 cup of raisins.

Notes

Ensure ingredients are at room temperature for best results. Use old-fashioned oats for chewy texture. Cookies should be slightly underbaked in the center for that melt-in-your-mouth goodness.
