Cream together 1/2 cup of unsalted butter and 1/3 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Add in 1 large room temperature egg and 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, mixing until combined.

Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until almost combined.

Add 1 1/2 cups of rolled oats, 1 cup of raisins, and 1/2 cup of lightly chopped toasted walnuts. Mix until just combined.

Chill the dough for at least an hour in the fridge.

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Scoop heaping tablespoon-sized pieces of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about two inches apart.

Bake for 8-10 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
