1. Mix the dry ingredients

In a bowl, whisk together:

• flour

• baking powder

• baking soda

• salt

• cinnamon

Set aside.

2. Cream the butter + sugars

In a large mixing bowl:

• Add softened butter

• Add white sugar + brown sugar

• Add eggs

• Add vanilla

Beat until smooth and creamy.

3. Add the dry ingredients

Pour the dry mixture into the wet mixture.
    Important: Don’t overmix — this keeps the cookies soft, not tough.

4. Add oats + raisins

Switch to a spatula or wooden spoon and fold in:

• rolled oats

• raisins

Mix until everything is evenly combined.

5. Preheat the oven

Set your oven to:

• 350°F (180°C)

6. Shape the cookies

Scoop dough into balls, then gently flatten the tops with a spoon.
    Leave space between cookies — they spread a little.

7. Bake

Bake for 20–30 minutes, depending on your oven.
Start checking at the 20‑minute mark.
They’re done when:

• edges are golden

• centers look set but still soft

8. Cool + enjoy

Let them cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring to a rack.

Serve with tea, coffee, or a cold glass of milk.
