Oatmeal Cookies: Gourmet Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 3 cups old-fashioned oats
• 1 cup raisins (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the butter mixture and stir until well combined. Fold in the oats and raisins (if using).
4. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
5. Enjoy your delicious oatmeal cookies!
