#### Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup raisins
#### Equipment:
- Mixing bowls
- Electric mixer (hand or stand)
- Cookie scoop
- Baking sheets
- Cooling rack
### Step-by-Step Instructions:
#### Step 1: Preheat the Oven and Prepare Your Ingredients
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it's preheating, measure out all of your ingredients. Set aside softened butter, oats, chocolate chips, and raisins.
#### Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir these dry ingredients together to ensure they are evenly mixed.
#### Step 3: Cream Butter with Sugars
In another large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add both sugars and continue beating for about 2 minutes or until well combined and fluffy.
#### Step 4: Add Wet Ingredients
Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
#### Step 5: Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures
With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix!
#### Step 6: Fold in Oats, Chocolate Chips, and Raisins
Stir in oats, chocolate chips, and raisins by hand. Be gentle to avoid breaking up the chocolate chips.
#### Step 7: Scoop and Bake
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop dough onto ungreased baking sheets about 2 inches apart (for larger cookies). Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
#### Step 8: Cool and Enjoy
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or store in an airtight container for later enjoyment.
### Tips:
- For extra flavor, toast your oats in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 10 minutes before adding to the dough.
- To ensure consistency and texture, use room temperature eggs and butter.
- If you prefer softer cookies, bake them for a shorter time; if you like crunchier edges, increase the baking time slightly.
