Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups rolled oats
- 0.5 cup raisins (optional)
- 0.5 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium-sized bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and beat until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the rolled oats, and if using, stir in the raisins or chocolate chips.
Drop tablespoon-sized spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underdone but will set as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to five days.
