Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x9-inch baking pan with baking spray and parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, blending well after each addition, and pour in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture until just combined, then fold in the oats and raisins.
- Spread the cookie dough evenly into the prepared baking pan, adding extra raisins on top if desired.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, until edges are golden brown and center feels set.
- Let the bars cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes, then lift out using parchment to cool completely on a wire rack.
- For the frosting, beat the softened butter, then gradually add the powdered sugar, maple syrup, heavy cream, and cinnamon until creamy.
- Once cooled, generously frost the bars and slice into squares to serve.

Notes
Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture and avoid overmixing to maintain softness.
