👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream butter & sugars until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients.
- Stir in oats, raisins, and pecans.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized dough balls onto baking sheet (about 2 inches apart).
- Bake 10–12 minutes until edges are golden and centers look just set.

🔥 Tips for Perfect Texture
- Chewier cookies: Slightly underbake.
- Crispier cookies: Bake 1–2 minutes longer.
- Extra flavor: Toast pecans for 5–7 minutes before mixing in.
- Plumper raisins: Soak in warm water for 10 minutes, then drain.
