Ingredients

  • 1 cup 140 g all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon table salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 tablespoons 1.5 oz unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup 150 g packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup 50 g granulated white sugar
  • 1/4 cup neutral oil vegetable or canola
  • 1 large egg lightly beaten
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3 cups 255 g old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup 75 g chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Whisk 1 cup flour, ¾ tsp kosher salt, and ½ tsp baking soda in a medium bowl.
  • Brown 4 Tbsp unsalted butter in a skillet over medium-high heat until dark golden and nutty, about 1–2 mins. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in ¼ tsp ground cinnamon.
  • Whisk ¾ cup brown sugar, ½ cup granulated sugar, and ½ cup neutral oil into the browned butter until smooth. Add 1 lightly beaten egg, 1 egg yolk, and 1 tsp vanilla extract; whisk until fully blended.
  • Stir in the flour mixture until just combined, then fold in 3 cups oats and ½ cup raisins.
  • Divide dough into 20 portions (about 3 Tbsp each), placing 10 on each baking sheet. Flatten each mound into a 2½-inch disk.
  • Bake one sheet at a time until edges are set and lightly browned but centers remain soft, 8–10 mins, rotating halfway.
  • Cool cookies on the sheet for 5 mins, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
