Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup raisins or chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Stir in the rolled oats and your choice of raisins or chocolate chips until the mixture is well combined.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of your favorite tea!
