These oatmeal raisin cookies are easy and perfect for fall! They taste delicious, and your house will smell delicious too! I remember my mom would make cookies every time it rained, so on a rainy day, I decided to make this blog post! If you aren’t a fan of raisins, you can easily substitute them for chocolate chips. I hope you like them as much as my family does!

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup raisins

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Mix your flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt in a bowl, and set it aside.

2. Use a mixer to cream together your butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugars for 1-2 minutes or until it looks will combined.

3. Add the egg and vanilla extract. Then mix until fully combined.

4. Slowly mix in the flour blend that you set aside. Mix it until combined.

5. Mix the oats and raisins together in a separate bowl, and then add them to the mixing bowl until they are fully combined, making sure to scrape the sides of the bowl as needed.

6. Cover the mixture with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until easier to handle.

7. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease two large baking sheets, and set them aside.

8. Once the dough is chilled, you can use a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop to size out the dough before putting it on the pan.

9. Form the dough into balls and gently flatten them (not completely). Leave room for them to spread out as they bake.

10. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges become golden brown. Let cool for about 30 minutes to allow them to bake thicker.

I hope you enjoy these yummy fall cookies! They are perfect for a cozy night in!
