Ingredients

  • ½ cup regular oats
  • cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons softened butter
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • cup raisins
  • ¼ cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  • Mix together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl and set it aside.
  • Place the butter and sugar in a bowl. Mix for 1-2 minutes until they are well combined. I like to do this with an electric mixer, but it can also be done by hand.
  • Add the egg yolk and vanilla then mix this to combine. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Next, add the dry mixture, oats, raisins, and walnuts if you are using them. Again, mix only to combine.
  • Scoop the cookies onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place it in the fridge and let the cookie balls chill for 30 minutes. While it is chilling, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Bake for 10-14 minutes. The edges should be a light golden brown. Remove the pan from the oven. You can enjoy them right away or let them cool.
