In a large bowl, beat the mixer with oil. Gradually add sugar and whip until lush.

Add eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each. Add the vanilla.

Mix the whisk in a separate bowl of flour, soda and salt. Gradually add to the oil mass. Beat until smooth. Add oat flakes and raisins, stir.

Mix sugar and cinnamon in a saucer.

Form the balls from the dough 2-3 cm in diameter, roll in sugar with cinnamon and put on a baking tray at a distance of 5 cm.

Bake 8-10 minutes, until light browning (regardless of the desired structure of the biscuit, immediately after baking, it should remain soft in the middle, after cooling the cookie will harden). Ready cookies leave on a baking sheet for 1 minute, and then shift to a grate until completely cooled.
