Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened) unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup (packed) light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup (optional, as desired) optional mix-ins (raisins, chocolate chips, or nuts)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is fluffy and light in color.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the rolled oats and your desired mix-ins, such as raisins, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts, if using.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Gently flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingertips to encourage even baking.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your homemade crispy oatmeal cookies with a glass of milk or a warm cup of coffee!
