Just keep telling yourself that the raisins make these qualify as a serving of fruit.

To complete this How-To you will need:

Nonstick cooking spray
One and one half sticks unsalted butter at room temperature
One and one half c. light brown sugar
Two eggs at room temperature
Two tsp. vanilla extract
One and one half c. flour
One half tsp. baking soda
One half tsp. salt
One tsp. ground cinnamon
Two and one half c. rolled oats (not quick-cooking)
Three-quarters c. raisins
Two cookie sheets
Two bowls
A whisk
An electric mixer (optional)
Three-quarters c. chopped walnuts (optional)

Step 1: Preheat oven

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, spray the cookie sheets with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2: Mix butter and sugar

In a large bowl, mix the butter and sugar together with a fork or an electric mixer until it's well mixed and fluffy.

Step 3: Add the egg and vanilla

Add the egg and vanilla and mix well with a whisk or electric mixer to combine.

Step 4: Whisk dry ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

Step 5: Finish the batter

Add the flour mixture little by little to the butter and sugar, combining thoroughly before adding more flour mixture. Then, stir in the oats, raisins, and nuts, if using. Mix until just combined.

Step 6: Drop onto cookie sheet

Drop spoonfuls of the batter 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets, and press them down slightly with the back of the spoon. Bake them until they're golden, about 10 to 12 minutes, and let them cool on the cookie sheets before eating.
