Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 2 1/4 cups rolled oats
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup raisins (optional, or add another cup of chocolate chips) (optional)

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Cream together butter and firmly packed brown sugar until mixture is light and fluffy.
  • Mix in eggs and vanilla.
  • Sift together flour, baking soda and salt.
  • Add the dry ingredients and rolled oats to the creamed mixture.
  • Mix until well blended.
  • Stir in the chocolate chips and raisins. I don't put raisins in mine (kids don't like them) so I double my chocolate chips instead).
  • Drop dough onto greased cookie sheets.
  • Bake at 350F for 15-20 minutes.
