Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy. Blend in the vanilla extract and egg until combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Add this dry mix to the butter mixture and blend just until combined. Fold in the chocolate chunks and raisins.
Using slightly heaping tablespoons, scoop the dough and form into balls. Place on the lined baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, position oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350F (175C).
Bake the cookies for 12 to 15 minutes, until set and the bottoms turn golden brown. Cool on the sheets for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

For best results, spoon flour into a dry measuring cup and level it offavoid scooping directly from the bag to prevent dense cookies.
