Preheat the oven to 375 F degrees. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl cream together the butter and the sugars together until well combined. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
In another bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Add to the butter mixture and stir. Mix in the oats using a spatula. If adding raisins, fold them into the cookie dough now.
Drop by tablespoons or small ice cream scoops onto the prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Cool cookies on baking sheets for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Store oatmeal cookies in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag. It doesn’t matter, as long as it seals. Keep the cookies out of direct sunlight and at room temperature for about 2 to 3 weeks at normal room temperature.
