Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure 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 (optional)
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, cream together the softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the rolled oats and optional raisins or chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Scoop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still slightly soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
