  3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  6. Fold in chopped walnuts and raisins until evenly distributed.
  7. Scoop dough onto prepared sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden brown.
