Preparation

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon; set aside.
Making the Dough
  1. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  4. Fold in the rolled oats and your choice of raisins or chocolate chips.
Baking
  1. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
  2. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
  3. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Tip 1: Do not overmix the dough to keep the cookies tender. Tip 2: For chewy cookies, underbake them slightly. Tip 3: Add a pinch of sea salt on top before baking for enhanced flavor.
