Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and mix in vanilla extract and cinnamon until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, oats, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold this mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Gently fold in the raisins.
