Ingredients
Makes 16.
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted, plus more for pan
- 3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (not quick-cooking)

Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8-inch square baking pan. Line bottom with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides; butter paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together butter, sugars, egg, salt, and cinnamon until smooth. Add flour, oats, and raisins; fold in just until combined.
