Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).

Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix on low speed until just combined.

Using a sturdy spatula or wooden spoon, fold in the rolled oats and the plumped raisins until evenly distributed.

Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 11-13 minutes until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft and slightly underbaked. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving to a wire rack.
