Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and beat until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, oatmeal, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch.
- Gradually introduce the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture, folding gently until fully combined.
- Fold in the raisins, walnuts, and chocolate chips.
- Using a tablespoon, drop scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving at least 2 inches between each.
Baking

Notes
For best results, avoid over-mixing after adding dry ingredients and chill the dough for about 30 minutes before baking. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for optimal texture.
