Chewy Oatmeal Raisin My Familys Comforting Cookie Recipe

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
6. Gently fold in the rolled oats and raisins until evenly distributed.
7. Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This helps prevent the cookies from spreading too thin.
8. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
