Best Ever Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

 This was a Pinterest find.  Normally I would never put "Best" with any oatmeal raisin cookie period, but I've started making the kids/grandkids their favorite cookie for their birthdays and I give them a big bag of them.  Aubrey wanted oatmeal raisin for her birthday cookies so I had to oblige.  Anyway, I found this recipe and even I actually really liked it.  Don't let the butter be too soft when making these or they will flatten too much...just barely soft is all you need.

1 1/2 c. butter 
1 c. white sugar
1 1/2 c. light brown sugar
4 large eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
6 c. old fashioned oats (not quick)
2 1/2 c. flour
2 tsp  baking soda
2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. cinnamon
2 c. fresh raisins
 
Preheat oven to 350 and line baking sheets with parchment.
Cream together the butter, sugars, eggs, and vanilla.  Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Add in the oats flour baking soda, salt cinnamon and raisins and stir until jusst combined and raisins are evenly distributed.
Use a medium cookie scoop to place 8 dough balls onto the cookie sheets
Bake for 8 minutes.  I then turn the sheets around and do 3 more, but that will just depend on how your oven bakes.
Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack to cool completely.
