In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon and salt, set aside.

In the  bowl of your electric mixer with the paddle attachment, beat butter until smooth and fluffy. Add the  sugar and beat until creamy and smooth about 1 minute.

After that, add flour mixture to the creamed mixture and beat until incorporated.

Then stir in the rolled oats, walnut and raisins.

At the end, using an ice cream scoop, place small heaps of the batter and space the cookies about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Then lightly wet your hand and flatten the cookies slightly with your fingers so they are about 1 inch thick.

Bake the cookies in preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until golden brown around the edges but still soft. Remove from oven and let it cold in baking sheet for afew minutes and after that transfer them to wire rack and let them fully cold.
