These are the best Old Fashioned Oatmeal Raisin Cookies! Grandma's recipe is chewy, crunchy on the outside, and super soft on the inside. I guarantee the whole family will love them.
Using a stand mixer or hand mixer with the beater attachment, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granular sugar together until light and fluffy. This takes about 3 minutes on medium-high speed.
Scrape down bowl and add the egg and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed until combined, about 1 minute.
Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt to the mixture. Beat on low speed until almost all of the flour is absorbed, about 2 minutes.
Scrape down bowl and add the old fashioned rolled oats and raisins. On low speed mix until incorporated. The dough will be thick and sticky.
Place dough in the refrigerator to chill for thirty to sixty minutes.
Preheat oven to [wprm-temperature value="350" unit="F"] and center the oven rack. Prepare two large cookie sheets with either parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Once the dough has been chilled and is no longer sticky, use a cookie scoop to make two tablespoon portions of cookie dough.
Space the cookie dough portions around two inches apart on the cookie sheet to give them room to bake.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the bottoms and edges are golden brown.
NOTE: The tops will look slightly wet and underdone but will continue to bake and set up after they are removed from the oven.
Remove the Old Fashioned Oatmeal Raisin cookies from the oven. Allow them to cool on the cookie sheet for five minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
