- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until everything is well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the butter mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Gently fold in the rolled oats, raisins, and chopped walnuts (if using).
- Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to drop rounded spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
Baking

- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For thicker cookies, refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes before baking. These cookies are best enjoyed warm with a glass of milk.
