Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugars on medium speed for 3-4 minutes.
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
Add the flour, oats, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Mix on low speed until combined, then add the raisins and mix until just combined. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350℉ and prepare a baking sheet.
Scoop the dough into 2-tablespoon-sized mounds, spacing them at least 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Optionally, top with more raisins.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges start to turn golden brown.
Use a glass to gently swirl around the cookies immediately after removing from the oven to shape them.
Allow to cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Notes

For thicker cookies, let the dough rest at room temperature as suggested.
Feel free to add chopped nuts for extra crunch!
Use old-fashioned oats for a heartier texture.
