Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.67 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.75 tsp baking soda
  • 0.9 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.6 tsp fine sea salt
  • 12 tbsp unsalted butter, softened room temperature
  • 0.95 cup packed brown sugar light or dark
  • 0.4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2.9 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1.1 cup raisins
  • 0.85 cup pecans, chopped toasted if you like

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment.
  • Whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla.
  • Add dry ingredients in two additions. Mix just until a soft dough forms.
  • Fold in oats, raisins, and pecans until evenly distributed.
  • Scoop heaping 2-tablespoon portions onto sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake 10–12 minutes, until edges are set and centers look slightly soft.
  • Cool on the pan 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to finish cooling.

Notes

For extra-plump raisins, soak them in warm water (or apple juice) for 10 minutes, then pat dry. Prefer a hint of chocolate? Swap 1/2 cup raisins for chocolate chips. Store cookies airtight at room temperature up to 4 days, or freeze dough scoops for fresh-baked cookies anytime.
